First I went to goodwill( <3>
Step 1- take frame apart, save backing, throw away glass
Step 2- Spray paint I used Rust-oleum Canyon Black
I then got some hob lob fabric, and returned it only to find this one at Joann's its perfect!
Step 3- Use spray adhesive to attach fabric to original frame backing.
Step 4- turn over and hot glue the fabric to the frame backing
This is what you get...
Step 5-Make sure it fits in the frame before getting the glue in there
Step 6- Decide on your layout and take a picture so you remember how you want them
Step 7- Spray paint frames
Step 8- Glue in the fabric board onto the frame.
Side note: When I tried to explain to Manuel what I had planned for the hideous frame I had just put in the cart at goodwill he looked at me like I was crazy. When he finally saw it all coming together he wanted to take over the project. Yea right like I would put my project in his hands ;) I let him glue gun. He is a pro now!
Step 9- Glue in all the frames, make sure if their are any staples to hold in the glass you take them out first or it will lay un even on board. I used a glue gun because it is forgiving but you could also use gorilla glue epoxy.
Step 10-Hang it!
Step 11 or 10- This can be done before hanging. Get magnets and put them on the board, I got some fancy jewels to glue on them for a cute look. The lady who i got the idea from used clothes pins on hers.
Step 12- Put in your pictures & Voila you're in love!
Now I have to order more black and white photos and find something for on the sides of the frame because it still looks plain. I think I might get some large keys at hob lob.
P.s. check out my side table. It was a savers(thrift store) ugly brown and gold table and I spray painted it too! I LOVE ME SOME SPRAY PAINT!!!
