Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Today is the day of green bagels and beer, of pinches if you are not wearing green. Luck o’ the Irish and Erin Go Bragh! I decided that I NEEDED a little green inspiration to celebrate the weekend and day today, so I came up with a super fast and pretty darn cute frame idea to share with you today. I often display holiday items in with my regular decor, just moving some items around in the house to fit where needed, I love just adding a few touches to celebrate a little holiday or even a big one.
I already had the frame created, but I will go over the very simple steps for you. Paint the frame black if it’s not already. I love the $.99 cans of black gloss spray paint, works great! I also had this mat I’d bought at Walmart, and just used black acrylic to paint the mat. What a great idea to add color to your photo frames. Acrylic paint is less than a dollar for a bottle. I then hot glued the frame glass BEHIND the mat. doing this, and leaving the back open was my intent, then I could switch photos out easily.
Next, I used my Cricut machine and the Paper Doll Dress Up Cartridge to cut out the clovers. I sized them to about 1 inch, which fit across the opening of the 5 x 7 inch space of the mat.
