this to my craft room wall...of course, my wood will not be white. :) Can't wait to do it!
So......I saw this frame in a gift shop awhile back and took a picture of it b/c I KNEW I wanted to try and copy it.
WAY TOO expensive for me and I knew I had those frames Rhett made for me awhile back....so, I grabbed one of the frames Rhett made for me, used a little wood glue and adhered my Hobby Lobby paper mache' cross to the corner.
After it was dry, I found some cheap paint I bought on the 50 cents wrong color rack at Lowe's or Home Depot and painted it. It was a grayish color which I thought would be perfect!
I didn't get a picture, but I added some glaze and then wiped some off with a damp rag.....perfect!
Oh I know what I could add that would be just the right touch. I had a picture insert that had four openings with four pictures of Preston as a baby! The frame/glass had broken awhile back. I didn't take a picture, but I turned the frame over and then nailed the picture in.........I LOOVVEE IT!!!
It looks pretty close to the first one, huh? :) I guarantee you it cost less!!!

I love this! So simple and fun and meaningful! My favorite kind of project!
