Old Frame Make-Over From Last Friday’s Treasure Hunt.
4 Materials
A good Trash to Treasure story...
I love a good sale that's ran by an old lady that just wants to get rid of everything.
I love a good sale that's ran by an old lady that just wants to get rid of everything.
When I asked what the price was for the old terra pot, she paused and said “a quarter”. When I asked her how much for the next item, she said “a quarter”. It didn’t take long for me to realize that this was going to be fun. By the time I put my pile on the table she said “a dollar……..ummm fifty?” I love a good treasure hunt. Especially when it’s ran by an old lady who just wants to get rid of everything.
Honestly, I wasn’t completely sure about these heavy metal frames when I first picked them up.
Armed with a can of off-white spray paint…
I sprayed the black velvet matting with spray adhesive and applied a piece of a woven tan fabric. I marked the two holes in the matting where the metal flowers had been previously. I was able to use the prongs on the back of the metal flowers to line them up exactly where they had been before. (so easy) I trimmed the excess fabric from around the matting and re-inserted everything back into the frame.
