Today I’m sharing my new Anthropologie Inspired Union Jack Frame. I love Anthropologie and when I saw this frame I knew I could make it for much less than the $24 it is selling for.

Here’s the inspiration Frame from Anthro. Sidenote – ours would probably look much cuter with a picture of our dog Roxie or Coco but I’ll need to go print one off so instead you get a picture of us……lol.

This is $24 on their website so I went shopping and found my frame for $1.99 and I had already bought the paint last week for another project but it was $.69 cents each for the three paints for a total cost of $4.06.

See what a great deal this was??

So I just lightly sanded the front of the frame and then began painting the white.

I just painted two coats of white because I wanted that sort of white washed look to it.

I wasn’t going for perfection here.

Once the paint was dry, I drew the lines for the different colored stripes in pencil and a ruler. I used my phone to make it easy and did it free hand.

Because I wanted that washed look close to theirs I did a mix of 1/2 paint and 1/2 water to have a lighter layer of paint. When I use craft paint I use a paper plate like the one above so I can dab my brush easily.

And I took my time and after one coat was put on I walked away and came back a couple hours later. And then I put the 2nd coat on it and let it dry.

When I was done I put it on the table across from where my hubs was watching tv and he laughed at me. He loves when I do projects especially the ones I can do alone…lol. Then I reminded him that this picture was take on our first getaway weekend over Valentines in Las Vegas. He had asked me to be his girl friend and was already beginning to profess his love to me….lol. Ahhhhh…..smile.

So that’s my Anthropolgie knock off for ya. That’s two knock offs in one week. Phew I’m a lil tired….lol.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day, Lisa
