frames and flowers and shoes, oh my!

I’ve had a few thrift store frames sitting around for awhile and thought I’d see what I could make of them to add to Addie’s bedroom decor.  It felt so good to just craft aimlessly and I love how this little frame turned out.  Easy art.  Cheap art! 

The steps are simple.  I used a thrift store wooden frame that I picked up for $1.99.  I roughed up the edges with some sandpaper and slapped on two coats of white paint.  After the frame dried, I roughed up the edges with sandpaper again, paying special attention to the scrolly areas.  LOVE the chippy finished look.

To finish the frame, I used spray adhesive to attach a vintage piece of sheet music to the cardboard insert and popped it in the frame.  Then, I rolled up a few fabric flowers (do we need a tutorial on these or has everyone seen them a million times over?) and gathered some ribbon, tulle, and faux pearls.  I cut a large circle of felt and moved around my embellishments until I loved the ensemble.  I hot glued everything down onto the felt and connected it to the corner of the frame.  Done!
