So I got these frames for $1 each at the local antique auction in my town. It's great, it's every Friday night and things go for super cheap!! My husband thinks I have an addiction, but I don't think it's a bad one....
Don't mind how dirty they look, I was lazy and kept them in the backseat for a while and my son decided to step on them...thanks Joey!
What you need:
Picture Frame (glass)
Scissors
Permanent Marker
Glue Gun
String
Fabric (optional)
So I had these curtains that were in my Grandparents cabin. When my mom went and cleaned it out, she gave them to me. Some I'm keeping to do a chair redo...
I thought they would be cute as the background, so I cut out the size of the frame...
put it in the frame, replaced the backing and there we have it... I decided I was not a fan... you couldn't really see the marker because of how big and dark the background was.
So I decided to take it out, flip the picture over to the blank white side and use that as the background.
I thought the white was too bland, so I actually took the fabric curtains and made flowers out of them...I made 3 for a nice collage.
Now, you will also need to make sure you have a marker handy at all times. I took the string I had on hand and started to glue top to bottom on just the cap. Don't do what I did -- glue from bottom to top, that way your marker hangs nicely. Glue the string to the top of the frame.
Hang and write a note for your husband!
And when you want to delete and write a new note, permanent marker comes right off glass with rubbing alcohol.
this also came in handy when my 3 year old found a permanent marker and decided to draw all over my Grandmother's jewelry box...luckily it's plastic and it came off with the help of the alcohol!! Once again...thanks Joey!
