Old Frames + Burlap

The Nursery project was so much fun to do for these awesome friends that I had to make them a little thank you gift. There’s this Napoleon Bonaparte quote that I love and think is beautiful for a little girl and I’ve been dying to add it in a project somehow.

Everyone has really old frames with old pictures that don’t fit any decor colours or are just tucked away collecting dust. Well, dust them off and re-purpose them!

I started with repainting an old wooden frame with some left over paint from the Nursery project and distressed it to add character. I then cut the burlap and fit over the glass piece front of the photo frame.

Then I just painted the quote onto the burlap with some acrylic paint… added little glue on diamonds all over to accent the piece.
