DIY Decorative Picture Frames, Part 1
I have a million picture frames. Unfortunately, none of them match. In order to bring some unity to my collection, I decided to make one related set to scatter among the others on my living room wall. This is a super-easy project, and costs less than $10 altogether.
Materials
Unfinished wooden picture frames (I got mine at Michaels for $1 each)
Decorative scrapbooking paper (Joann had it 4 for $1)
1 Bottle of Mod-Podge
1 Foam Brush
1. Open one picture frame and turn it face-down on your fancy paper. Trace the inside and outside of the frame.
2. Cut out the shape you have traced. Cut it a little large, since it can be trimmed later, but not expanded!
3. Brush a thin layer of Mod-Podge on the wooden frame and let it dry a bit until it is tacky.
4. Position your paper on the frame, and smooth it down with your fingers or a brayer.
5. Brush a coat of Mod-Podge over the surface of the paper, and leave the frame to dry. Repeat with another coat, and leave to dry overnight.
