Vintage Inpired Frame

As part of my bedroom redesign I wanted to change the frames above our bed. I decided to stick with a chunky frame.  I made them 12X12, which made my picture a 4X4.  Perfect for the look I wanted.  I went to Lowe's and had them cut the boards for me. 

I used gorilla glue for adhesive- be sure to use clamps when using gorilla glue to keep the wood even while drying.

After it dried I painted the edges an antique white.

Then I covered the wood with mod podge and pressed on the fabric.  After it dried I cut off the excess with a razer blade and sanded the edges.  Then I used my ALL TIME favorite distress ink,

I ADORE these picture hanging strips that don't leave holes in the wall. 

 They just snap right together, super easy!

About $4 a frame. Can't beat that!

Next up for the re-design, handmade throw pillows and curtains...not sure which will be first :)
