I chose not to paint the frame since it was already gold and perfectly chipped. I pulled out my number stamps and stamped 1-25 on my mini envelopes. I tied jute around the sides of the frame. You could also staple it if you want. I wasn't sure how permanent I wanted this to be so I tied it. But I like it so well that I think I'll go back and staple it, then use it all year long.
Then I simply clipped the mini envelops onto the jute with mini clothespins. These mini clothespins were already painted red, green, and white.

How would you use this frame? Advent calendar? Christmas card display? or something else?
