I am always
on a hunt to find treasures in the clearance bin of my local craft store. At
one certain visit I found some place card holder frames that went down to 99
cents. I didn’t know (at that time) what I will make with them but I couldn’t
pass them up.
Fast forward
to this week, I was looking at a certain wall in my home and found it to be
lonely and bare. The thought of hanging up a saying on it came to mind and I knew
that the frames and some gold wired ribbon from Ribbon’s Unlimited will
brighten up that spot.
Here’s how I
created my home décor project….
1. First, I
grabbed my frames and the ribbon. I then went through my stash to find papers
and letters that would fit the frame and also match with all the colors that I’m
going to use.
2. Next, I
took of the easel back of the frames. I wouldn’t need it since I’m adhering
them onto the ribbon. That was an extra bulk that I didn’t need. Luckily I was
able to easily take it off.
3. Third, I
measured the inside of the frame and cut out my papers according to the size. I
then adhered them onto the inside cardboard of the frame, added the plastic on
the front and slipped them back into the frames. *I initially used the green
floral paper but after trying to place the letters on top of it, I realized
that the pattern on the paper clashed with my letters. So I changed it with the
star paper instead.
4. Then I
added my letters over the plastic cover of my frames.
5. Using a
glue gun, I adhered the frames onto the ribbon. I added a ring on top of the ribbon so it can
easily be hung anywhere. I added a bow
from the same wired ribbon on the top.
6. I added a
velvet flower on the center of the bow for a finished look.
Here’s another
look at the finished project and some more detailed shots…
