From Goodwill to Gorgeous

Are you ready for another Goodwill score!?
-
-
Check out the pictures that I came across! Look at those amazing frames! Lets tear them apart!
-
-
To start we disassemble! Then the frames go off to the garage for... white spray paint of course!
-
-
While the paint is drying, lets take a look at the pictures... they were not in the best of shape and really don't go with my decorating scheme... so lets grab some supplies!
-
-
First, use your spray adhesive to adhere the fabric to the pictures. I let it dry for a minute or so before sticking together... it seems to make it a little more "tacky" and you get a better hold. Then trim about an inch all the way around.
-
-
Then I clipped the corners, sprayed the edges of the pictures and folded the material around the backside.
-
-
For the corners, I folded them together to form a little dog ear.
-
-
Next, I clipped off the dog ears.
-
-
This creates a nice clean look on the back... call it the perfectionist in me!
-
-
Here are the finished pictures! Now lets go get the pretty white frames!
-
-
Oh, now don't they look just scrumptious! What to do with them... hmmm... well being a newlywed, I have grown fond of the letter "H" - so that would be a good start for one!
-
-
A bright white H sure does the trick! Held in place with a little hot glue (so I can change it later if I'd like)... Love It!
-
Maybe we will see the second frame sometime in the future... for now, it will go with the other frames that have yet to find a home in this house!
