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

1-27-10 0011. Open one picture frame and turn it face-down on your fancy paper. Trace the inside and outside of the frame.

1-27-10 0032. Cut out the shape you have traced. Cut it a little large, since it can be trimmed later, but not expanded!

1-27-10 0053. Brush a thin layer of Mod-Podge on the wooden frame and let it dry a bit until it is tacky.

1-27-10 0064. Position your paper on the frame, and smooth it down with your fingers or a brayer.

1-27-10 0075. 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.

To be continued…
