This is a super awesome PICTURE FRAME MENU BOARD :)
I used a 10x20 inch frame, half a yard of fabric, a couple spools of ribbon, a bit of tacky glue, and some chip board stickers!
We could have spray painted the wooden part of the frame a different color but we liked the blue and black! Anyway, I wish I had taken step by step pictures, but it's pretty simple! We covered the back of the frame (behind the glass, where the picture usually goes) with fabric, and glued six pieces of ribbon onto the fabric to make seven nearly equal sections. I layered a thinner black ribbon on the thicker blue ribbon! It's all your personal preference!
So put the frame back together, and then put chip board stickers right on the glass in the different sections! Now all you need is a dry erase marker and you're good to go! Check out this closeup:
This was super, super easy so check out the thrift stores to try to find a frame you like! This will probably be my go-to housewarming/wedding gift from now on :)
I should probably give credit to my friend Brittany Glenn! We were supposed to make something like this together when I was visiting Washington last month, but I didn't get a chance to hang out with her! Thanks Brittany!
That is so completely adorable Bekah! I really want to try this...but have to figure out where in my kitchen I could put it!
ReplyDeleteI was gonna say "hold on!" You were supposed to do that with me! Thanks for giving me credit for it though. Wish we could have hung out. Another time. I'll have to come up with something new now. :) love ya.
ReplyDeleteThat is a really cute idea. I wish I had more wall in my kitchen.
ReplyDeleteWe ended up putting it where our Quotable Cat calendar was! Now we have to find a place for THAT! We have a new, working microwave now, so we could probably just take down the wall clock and put the calendar there.
ReplyDeleteBrittany, it all started because I was wandering around Porters, and everything I needed was either on sale or super cheap anyway! I had one of those "I need to craft" moments which I have honestly never had before haha! I could not ignore it! We'll definitely do something cool in August!
Nice.
ReplyDeleteI've got the same problem as Keira - limited wall space.
This is really cool :) Now to see if I can talk the boyfriend into accepting it in the kitchen...
