Crafty Sunday...Maybe it's the weather!

Maybe it's the weather, but all I wanted to do today is projects!!! I began my morning with a fabulous monkey painting for my bestie's nursery!


Too cute right?!! (It's not an original but I couldn't let her pay $100 for that same picture in a store!)

After a full day of shopping and cleaning, I pulled out my projects basket and dug out a few picture frames.
The first 2 frames I used my scrapbook/ mod paudge method. They turned out adorable!

WHO DAT!!!!


GO JAGS!

The third picture frame was my original inspiration for my craft journey. I saw a picture frame at Objects and I fell in love! However, I looked at the price tag and it said $39.95. I thought that it looked easy enough for anyone to do! Well, I made my frame for all of $4.00. Crazy right?! I began by painting 2 coats of Chocolate Froth (my fav color!).

While my paint was drying, I pulled out my pink ribbon and made a cute little bow! I took pearls (beads that look like pearls) and put them on string. Then, I took the string of pearls and wrapped it around the bow a few times. (Don't forget to hot glue it in place!)

After my paint dried, I pulled out my square of sandpaper and went to town! I lightly distressed the wood, glued on my bow, and VIOLA! My fabulous $39.95 picture frame (for $4.00) FANTASTIC!

It looks adorable with a picture of my best girls in it!

Creatively Yours!
