I went out to my garage and picked out a painting that I had got before Christmas. I really don't like the painting all that much, but the frame is great. Solid wood and pretty big. I am pretty sure the painting was done by an amateur artist.
So I got out my Annie Sloan Old White Paint, and painted the frame. I distressed it and waxed it with just clear wax.
Rather than mat the flour sack to get it to fit the frame and have a glass cut, I just tied on a piece of cotton clothesline rope and clipped the bag on with clothespins.
I hung the frame on the door of my kitchen. I think I will hang it on the kitchen wall after I repaint!
Too cute, Carlene. Great idea to frame it....and especially your way of framing. Jane

Oh I love it framed just like you did it...perfect!
ReplyDeleteCarlene, this is such a cute idea! Love how you hung it with clothes pins! I just picked up some old clipboards at a thrift. Going to hang a few with old photos like you did. Wondering what do you mean by folders? Thanks so much for the inspiration!
