Cute Burlap Frame

 So like I mentioned, I had a cute project that I did recently and have to share!


This was a piece that my mother in law gave to me, and as you can see, it's a little outdated. The frame was originally a tuscan gold color, but I painted it and then hung it on the wall, trying to get inspiration on what to do with it.

 So I'm gonna show you what I did with it, step by step!


Here's our supplies


I wrapped the batting around the picture and stapled it with my handy dandy stapler!


Repeated the process again, this time with my Burlap I got from Joann's


Here's the now covered tiger! PHEW!


This is our initial for our last name, which I hot glued to the burlap


Here's the finished product, above my STILL UNtouched buffet! Still trying to get inspiration for this
area, it's coming along though :)

 And just in case you forgot what that little nook area looked like...

    That's a big improvement on the frame. And it has a "G". I currently have white empty frames hanging on my half primed wall. I thought it might motivate me to finish it and get some photo's in.

    Cheers,

    Nice job with the burlap...I keep thinking I need to go to Joann's and get some to try out in our house, too.
    BTW LOVE the blue lamp!

    Oh this is amazing! I can't wait to make one and hang it on a spare wall in our bedroom! I just finished building a bed and painting all the furniture white and this would look AMAZING in there! Thanks for the great post!

    I'd love to have you check out my blog over at www.theobanions.blogspot.com!

    Great job! I love monograms and frames so what a great combo. Great job using old cardboard I have done this on a couple projects an it is a great way to keep costs down and recyle.

    That looks gorgeous! Your space is just fantastic and the plates on either side are perfect. Is it just me or did you have the song "The Eye of the Tiger" running through your head when you looked at that painting? LOL!
    Thanks so much for linking this up to Inspiration Friday this week!

    Lovely.

    The buffet caught my eye. I had a dresser with mirror and desk with chair and hutch just like it as girl. Seeing your buffet took me back to my girlhood room - complete with Strawberry Shortcake figures, Bonne Bell lipsmackers (the big ones)and posters of Cindy Lauper. Thanks.
