I found a treasure – big old ugly brown frame at our band garage sale for about $0.25. I just knew I’d be able to get a lot off use out of this frame once it was prettied up!
It looked so cute after a few coats of spray paint. I believe the colour was Ocean Breeze by Krylon.The first time we used it was part of a photo wall at Grad . . .
. . . it’s the big one with the blue couple inside it.Then we used it during engagement photo’s for my daughter.
I love the sky, the wheat, the frame, the couple!!!And finally, we turned it into a chalkboard for their wedding!
My guy cut me a piece of 1/8″ melamine in whatever measurement the back of my frame was. Then I gave it two coats of chalkboard paint. Now this was the hard part – attaching the chalkboard to the back of the frame. I used duct tape and taped it on!!! That way I can easily take it out when I just want a frame again.
We simply wrote their Love Story on the chalkboard and propped it up in a corner.
It’s sooo romantic!!!I think this frame is having so much more fun now than whatever it did in it’s former life!
Oh, and if you read the Love Story, don’t worry, he works at the jail!
