1.00 Valentine picture diy art frame

Hello! As you can tell since I have been back home, I have been a bit lazy! I have not had that much ambition or balance to speak of to get in the mood to craft. Today, I finally felt like I am getting back to myself again.

I ran over to Walmart for something totally unrelated to crafting, but some how or another wound up in the craft supply section. I picked up a few things to make a Valentine art. Every since Rachel was a guest here a few weeks ago and shared her Valentine button art with scrap paper I wanted to do something along the similar lines, of course with my own twist.

Supplies you will need:

One plaid wood picture frame

Waverly inspirations chalk paint in white

Pearl Mod podge

Shimmer

Sponge brushes

Fabric

twine

hot glue gun

scrabble tiles optional

Owl stickers optional

I have never used the new Waverly chalk paint sold at Walmart now. Thought I would give it a whirl. I liked it. It dried extremely fast.

I gave the frame two coats of paint. Then I went over it with the pearl mod podge, some shimmer in blue, and placed some owl stickers on each corner of the frame. Those are optional, but I love owls so I thought they would be cute. Plus, they have hearts on them. I will talk later on about that shimmer I used. I have an experiment I am going to try very soon.

I love the little fabric quarters that Walmart sells. They have some cute patterns. It only costs .97 cents. I still have a nice piece left over for a future project. And, yes my I, is upside down I just noticed. Oh well, an I is an I no matter how you place it LOL!

I painted the back of the inner frame with mod podge, and adhered the fabric right to it and lightly smoothed it out.

After that dried I placed it back in the frame, and that is when I added my twine heart, and the scrabble tile letters to the frame.

Now to find some cute young gal to give this to. A lot of my friends have daughters, so I am sure I won’t have a problem finding one. When I craft and share, I try to appeal to all masses. I know a lot of you have grandchildren that you like to do crafts with too. So just another idea to throw your way.
