Things have been pretty calm around here. We are getting into the swing of thing and trying to learn the new area. Someone (yes I am the guilty party) buried the camera under a pile of papers. Needless to say it has been MIA for a while. Until today. It was found. We have been doing some fun crafts around here and we wanted to share.
I have been asking, no begging, no pleading on my knees with cherry on top for a year or two now for a jewerly holder or something. All of my pretty things have been hiding out in little boxes! But Pinterest and Goodwill came to the rescue! We decided to make a jewerly picture frame.
 |
| We found this sweet and somewhat tacky photo of ducks at good will along with a semi lace looking shirt thing. |
 |
| For some reason I could not get the ugliness of this frame to come across it was like blue crackled paint with wait showing through it was hideous! So I sanded spots away and got to painting. |
 |
| I am in this phase in life where I want everything to be teal. Isnt teal such a wonderful color. Its warm and cool and unique all at the same time. |
 |
| I guess I went crazy with taking too many photos of one thing and not enough of another. With that being said I am also in the vintage antiqued look right now also. So I took my sanding block and roughed out the edges of the frame after the paint was applied. |
 |
| Stapled Lace on it and Wallah! However I really wanted it to hold necklaces... |
 |
| So we just happened to have eyehooks laying around. So we took some snipper things and some holder thing and went to work into making them hooks instead of holes. |
 |
| We had a lot to do and I was frustrated so I took pictures and Stefen made them beautiful. |
 |
| And then came the VERY tedious and lucrative task of screwing those puppies in. |
 |
| Wallah all done! And I love it I must say. |
