Pretty Things

Hi Off the Rails fans!

It's Sue here with you today sharing a quick & easy project I recently created for my daughter's bedroom. We are always looking for "pretty" things to add to her room, and when I found some mini wooden frames lurking in my craft cupboard I decided to make them into something cute for her.

Here is what I created...

To create this wall hanging, I started with my 3 tiny frames like this...

After removing the glass, I gave them a very light coat with white spray paint, which I then rubbed back with sandpaper to give them a worn, shabby look.

I then cut a piece of patterned paper to fit in each frame and adhered the wood veneer pieces on top. (All patterned papers and wood veneer pieces are by Cocoa Vanilla Studio.)

Next, I cut a length of wide satin ribbon and affixed it to the back of the frames using hot glue. (Had the frames been larger or heavier than these, I would recommend using a staple gun for this step. Fortunately, these are so tiny the hot glue is sufficiently strong enough.)

Once dry, I was able to affix to the wall using only a thumbtack. (I told you it was only light!) It was such a quick, easy and inexpensive project. And the best part was  - she loved it!

Thanks for stopping by today. Be sure to come back regularly and see what other inspiring ideas the Design Team has in store for you.

Happy scrapping!
