Some projects are so simple and so much fun – this is one of those projects. Whenever I am at the craft store they always have a bin of wooden picture frames – a couple of trips ago I picked some up. They are hard to walk by – because there is no end to what you can do with a picture frame – unlimited decoration opportunities. So what to do with them with a holiday twist?
Holiday Message Frames
Items Needed
Wooden picture frames
Paint (we used red)
Sparkle paint (again, we use red)
Paint brushes
Sparkle Letters ( or other frame center decoration)
Jingle bells, mardi gras beads (optional)
1. Lay out some newspaper and get your paint and paint brushes ready. Take the paper photo out of the frame and set aside.
2. Paint your frames with the basic paint – one good coat is probably all that you need. Allow to dry – does not take long.
3. Paint a coat with the sparkle paint -allow to dry.
4. We had 4 frames and in the clearance section of the craft store they had some sparkle letter – so now to decide what message to put into the frames – we debated between Xmas and Love, with winning out. Using the paper photo inserts, turn over to the white side and adhere you letters and then place in the frames.
5. If you want you can decorate your frames a little more with gluing some jingle bells or mardi gras beads or whatever you have on hand that is festive and fun.
6. Now find the “perfect” spot for your message – hang on a wall, the front door or place on a shelf.

Great idea. I’ve seen in catalogues those narrow shelves with frames… you could put three frames up with the word J O Y, or S M I L E or ….: ) Stella looks like she is having fun with these craft projects. Guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, as they saying goes.
What a great idea. and Stella looks like she is having a lot of fun. Great quality time together
