I had an empty frame lying around. I think the glass got broken out of it at some point. So I wanted to do something fun with it.
 |
| yeah... it's sideways |
STEP 1: Frame plus a piece of cardboard. Measure and cut the cardboard to fit into the frame.
 |
| this is what it looks like after step 1 |
STEP 2: Pick any kind of fabric to cover the cardboard. I used an Urban Outfitters bag (they have ridiculously cool bags there... they're like reusable shopping bags that you get every time you buy something... and they come in different patterns)
 |
step 2 in action... oh I used my fav duck tape to tape
the fabric on the board |
STEP 3: Insert the fabric covered cardboard back into the frame.
 |
| oh hey cute duck tape.... |
STEP 4: use push pins/ any kind of stick pin and decorate the frame however you want. Mine (for the moment... I change things up a lot) displays a post it note with a cute letter Matt wrote me, random buttons from an old pair of my mom's jeans from like the 70's, a picture from our wedding, and my dad's classic "signature"-- a dog head with it's tongue sticking out... no seriously he draws this thing on everything... even on the card he and mom wrote in for our wedding.
