Empty frame wall art *eye candy*

I had a look around to see what other people have created with empty painted frames

First up this is mine

This one is from Classically Amber the frames are beautiful and ornate

This one is from Two Girls… Being Crafty, I like the way they have frames inside frames

And another one from I am Momma hear me roar, this has a hidden window, how cute!

And lastly how cute is this? Bulletin board frames! From Shannon Makes Stuff

Ahhh… Eye Candy!

If you’ve done something cute with empty frames let me know, I’d love to see!

While we’re on the subject

I have been meaning to blog this since before Christmas. Remember this box I got at a garage sale? I was going to do it up for my brother’s 21st birthday…

Here it is all done up to the nines’. 

I painted it a slate grey and attached new handles.

The outlines of the letters were lightly printed on to old pages of Shakespeare plays, then I cut them out and modge-podged them on to the box. I did several layers over top of the letters to make sure they wont come off.

I managed to get it to him only 6 months late… a record for me!

Who knows what he will put in it, boy stuff no doubt.

The Keys found a home

I loved all your suggestions for my little set of keys! I think I may have to go back to the antique store and grab a few more for jewellery purposes.

But this is what became of these:

Old frames from the op shop- $5

Old keys and brass fittings from the local antique shop- $10

Print from here- $10

White enamel paint – $20

$45 is pretty darn cheap for this fun wall art methinks!

What think you guys?

What should one do with these?

You’ll see what I’m doing soon, but I want to know what YOU would do with them?

Doily flowers and something extra ::Tutorial::

Lets make some flowers first!

Supplies:

Now make lots more with different types of doilies

They look fab on a headband!

On to the next quick project!

Or if you don’t want to make anything with doilies, you should buy one of Cam’s amazing brooches, ingeniously made from doilies!

 

Have a lovely day!
