How else would you describe these 2 picture frames?
As usual, I totally forgot to take the before pictures. Originally they were both dark brown, and had mirrors inside. I was going to see if I could pop the mirrors out to paint the frames, (which I drybrushed 2 coats of white on) and then replace the mirrors...
Oh yeah right.. sure!! Of course, the mirrors shattered. Not a big grrr.. but, a grrr just the same. I really thought they looked cute with the mirrors inside. Sooo, instead of mirrors I printed off a picture of a crown for each one, on dropcloth fabric, through my printer again.

I hot glued the cloth to the frames, and then stuffed a little bit of stuffing inside. I cut new cardboard backing and hot glued those to the back of the frames..
They turned out sooo cute! I hung them both on the tiny wall next to my hutch.

(Nice crooked picture dingdong!! LMAO)

Wow! That looks really lovely. I think I like it better than it would have looked with mirrors! And that's so smart to put stuffing in it! I need to get our printer working to start putting graphics on dropcloth...
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love your hutch and everything in it. Totally utterly jealous!

Yeah, me too, Emily. I thought I'd like the mirrors, which I still do, but, I like the transformation a whole heck of alot better!

I'm sure they would be pretty with the mirrors but the crowns are INSPIRED! A happy accident that was meant to be.
ReplyDeleteExactly Kluless! Now I'm the hunt to find mirrors again.. and cross my fingers I don't break em. But, it really wouldn't be that big of a loss ;-)
