Dollar Store Frame Upstyle

Printing out vintage botanicals on watercolor paper is a wonderful way to create beautiful art for your home.  I LOVE how much beauty they can add to a room.  In fact, my entire dining room is filled with botanical drawings and big plants and it makes me VERY happy!  These works of art started out as dollar store frames and with a little decoupage and hot glue, you can have something AMAZING to show off. Check out the video below to see how it's done and then get out there and

MAKE YOUR MARK!  xo

Dollar store frames and hot glue...Yup! 

Crumpled tissue paper glued to almost anything always looks amazing!

It is wonderfully relaxing adding watercolor to black and white botanicals!

Creativity is the key, my wonderful friends!

Dollar Store Frame Makeover

Lately I've been noticing patterned and fabric covered frames in thrift shops and antique stores. Lots of them are from the 1980s with gorgeous (and somewhat faded) botanical prints.  After noticing several of them I started to fall in love with the idea of patterned frames and decided to try my hand at making one...or two.  Using some of my favorite products and inexpensive dollar store frames, I whipped these together and I absolutely love them!  They are currently the crown jewels in my dining room and I will definitely be making a few more.  When you see something you love, my creative friends, why not try to make it?  You never know what will happen.  xo, Mark!

Love the funky cotton fabric I chose for these!

A selection of fabrics that I may use in the future for a similar project.

Hot glue and silicone molds (from Re-Design with Prima) are a fantastic way to add

some architectural flair to a simple project like this!

I keep my fabric projects wipeable by coating them with lacquer.

Minwax Polycrylic, in all different sheens, is my favorite!
