More Frame Makeovers...with words...

Hello friends...

In my last post I showed you the "makeover" I did on some old frames...see more HERE.

In that post I mentioned that I had done something similar with some bigger frames and brought them to our booth before taking pictures...oops. So here it is :)

I also did one that reminds me of this...

4 ever and ever AMEN wall art, our room

Only more like this...

...but it sold before I got back to take pictures.

Oh well...I'm not complaining!!

Still a couple of photo holders left too :)

Frame Makeover...a "new" look for some old pictures frames...

Recently I acquired a box of old picture frames.

I forgot to take "before" pictures...but I'm sure you get the idea...

I removed the glass and the backs...painted them black...and wrapped them with twine.

Of course you need a word tag and a little button/key detail :)

I don't think I can call this a "re-purpose" can I?? How about we just call it a little "junky makeover"?

There were some bigger frames too. I forgot to take pictures of the "after" before I took them to our booth at Antiques Downtown. I'll be back to show you what I did with those. Similar...but different...

Until then,

"Picture Perfect" Books

As I was peeking through boxes and bins I came across a bunch of picture frame parts and pieces. A while back I had taken apart a bunch of frames for a decorating project and in true "junker" fashion...I kept all the glass and cardboard backs...because well, "you just never know". I also found a couple boxes full of old books...I can't resist them. So this idea combines 2 of my favorite things...books and photos...

I knew I saved these for a reason :)

I removed the front and back cover of the book and then folded the pages back to a full page of words. The pictures are only attached by the black photo corners and can easily be switched out. The glass is held in place by black "ponytail" holders...who knew that'd come in handy for something other than a "bad hair day"...

(By the way...I don't actually know this "happy couple", but they make me smile)

This book is even called "Picture Perfect"...Imagine that...

I've already read this book, but if you haven't you still can...all the pages are still there...

The back is held in place by those same handy bands...

For this style I used an old Readers Digest Book. I've collected an assortment of interesting patterns over the years...

PS...I didn't just have a baby...my "baby" turned 3 in August, but I love this picture. It's our first "family photo"...

Same "ponies" hold the glass and a little added embellishment...just because...

If I would have done this one with the binding up, pages down it would have stood alone nicely. On this particular book I liked the pattern but wasn't thrilled about the titles so this metal bookend does the trick...
