This quick frame makeover was the laziest project in the history of lazy projects. It took longer to make the printable than update the frame. I love neutrals and black and white in case you can’t tell. I did try for a few years to do the color thing and I LOVE nature's colors this time of year , especially here in the PNW where the leaves are brilliant right now. But I went back to my comfort zone this Thanksgiving.
See ….proof! I had a metallic orange frame that’s been part of my décor the past few years. It just wasn’t going to go with what I had in mind for my mantel this year. I thought about painting the frame which wouldn’t have been that hard, but I was tired and I did mention this was a lazy project right? Thank goodness for self adhesive glitter tape!
For this project you will need:
- Simple frame
- Glitter tape ( I used Recollections from Michaels)
- Printable
I dis-assembled things, cleaned the glass, and said goodbye to the previous printable. Then I just went around the edges of the frame with my (black) glitter tape. This does not require advanced crafting skills. This does not require ANY crafting skills.
Then I printed out the printable I made in PicMonkey. I couldn’t decide on a font so I made three versions.
and the one I printed out
Oh did I mention I'm sharing them? Click on to bring to full res, right click to save as.
Confession. I goofed on my sizing when I printed it but waste not want not. Instead of reprinting, I just mounted it onto some gold cardstock that was the right size for the mat. Done and done!
