Are you looking for an inexpensive Valentines gift to give to a family member? Or maybe just a way to get your house ready for the upcoming Holiday?
I recently made a cheap and easy picture frame. I thought that I would share a tutorial.
Materials needed:
- $1 wooden frame from Michaels
- Old book
- Scissors
- Mod Podge
- Black and red paper
Step 1. Tear pages from an old book. (That is always the saddest part.)
Step 2. Cut pages into squares. My squares were about 2 in. x 2 in.
Step 3. Apply Mod Podge to your wooden frame.
Step 5. Add some hearts!
Easy. Easy. Seriously after I got the idea in my head- five minutes later it was done. Maybe I could stretch that to ten minutes if you count the time it took to have my circuit to cut out the letters.
This one is on my Mantel.
I also made one as a gift, and put this picture inside. Can you guess who it is for?
I heart Valentines Day!
I love your love frame. I need one for my grandson's picture. He is about the same age as your cutie.

ReplyDeleteFriends I want share with you some. That time of the year has rolled around once again and you’re stressing about planning the perfect birthday party. Regardless of your child’s age, almost very parent deals with the pressures and anxieties surrounding their kid’s birthday parties. Perhaps it’s because children put so much stock into this event, something they look forward to for months. After all, it only comes once a year; as well, it’s the one day where your son or daughter is able to revel in being special (via gifts, treats, cakes and often money, of course). Planning a birthday party for your child can be trying and surviving the experience is equally challenging. Fortunately there are some tips and strategies that parents can employ before the big event that will assure a rousing good time – with little stress – for all involved.
