DIY Colorful Frames


 Did a quick craft tonight...well, I've been anticipating it for a while. I design and pinned these quotes from the day I knew I was moving out of Casablanca. And this is the inspiration that resulted.

MATERIALS NEEDED:


DIRECTIONS:

 1. It's pretty simple. Paint the cheap-o frames...if you wanna be like me, paint them the same color as your printables.



2. Now, when you buy cheap frames, you get cheap quality. This being the case, you'll need to give them the hose-down. Water, will not work. Windex, will not work. I found that vinegar WILL work...followed by Windex.



Gotta go Great Value. Red Wine Vinegar was all we had, but it worked!

3. Next, you put those printables in those frames and hang those suckas.



And, of course, two for the bathroom.

Want to print and frame my quote designs too? I can share. Download the PDFs here!

  1. I just want to say thank you, thank you, thank you for posting where you got the frames from! I had a couple from the Dollar Tree from last year that I found for a project. Well, now that project has turned into a major thing and I need a ton more but Dollar Tree stopped selling them. So thanks to doing a search and finding your post, I now can get close to the same for almost as cheap. You are a Godsend, lol! :D

    1. No problem! I am happy to be of help! I do want to warn you that the frames were not very polished. For my project--since they were painted--it didn't matter, or show very much, but the wood was pretty rough. Just a fair warning...so you don't buy a million of them and are disappointed!

      :) Thanks again for the comment!
