I'm feeling crafty lately. And not the devious, scheming kind of crafty... I mean the kind that makes crafts. Not long ago I posted a project making storage boxes, and today I've got another little project. This one is much easier. All I needed were some frames which I bought really inexpensively at Deseret Industries (a thrift store). Each frame cost a dollar or less.
Then I sanded them down a little and painted them a new color. I used various shades of blue and a pop of red. The acrylic craft paints I got from Hobby Lobby and they were about 60 cents a tube.
Once they were all painted to my liking, I used the sandpaper again to distress the frames a little bit. I roughed up some corners and accentuated the ridges in the framework.
Then I hung them in a pattern on the wall of my bathroom! Don't they look great? Instant wall art!

I do that with frames from DI all the time! Except, I put some photos in them to match the style of the frame... lots of vintage type photos in yellow frames and stuff. Its a lot of fun!
Anyway, I think they look great on your wall! Really!
I want to do something with vintage photos one of these days!
Wow, very nice job! They look like pics from a magazine.
