Frames are usually abundant at thrift shops, however, many are cheap, run of the mill frames that are a dime a dozen.
This little orange-y frame caught my eye recently. I picked it up and paid $1.50. But it needed a makeover to match my decor.

After taking the frame apart, I wiped down the wood part to remove any dust or dirt.
I started by tying the jute twine on one end with a single tie, not a full knot.
I then wove three rows of jute twine through the top and bottom openings.
When I was done weaving, I had four twine ends.
All had been fastened with just one tie. Not a full, bulky knot. I snipped the ends shorter and hot glued the short piece to the jute weave.
Here is the finished back.
I added a Tim Holtz Embellishments /Word Bands
(Live in the Moment) to the top of my frame using E6000 Craft Adhesive.
I tried hot glue but it did not hold the metal word tag.
I sprayed the frame with Dixie Belle Easy Peasy Spray Wax.
