These frames are $2.98 at WalMart. I spray adhesived scrapbook paper onto it, sanded the edges, rubbed on a little brown ink to distress it, and gave it 2 good coats of mod podge to seal it. I think I'll add a big fluffy bow to the top of the frame just to fuss it up a bit. This picture really doesn't do it justice. It's much cuter in person, if I do say so myself...and I do, and I will, and it is. So there.

Another Cheap Gift
Ok, I know it's nothing spectacular. Just a frame. But who doesn't use frames? In fact, I made this to take to a gift exchange tomorrow night at our annual Christmas Progressive dinner, but I changed my mind. It goes so nicely with my santa collection I decided to keep it for myself. I know...I am a terrible person.

That turned out soooo cute. I would keep it too!
That is such a cute idea!!! I am going to do this one for sure!
Another wonderful idea. And who wouldn't love to get a personal and handmade gift like this?

So simple and cute. I've been looking for a Christmas frame to put our pic in every year. Duh...I'll just do this!! Hey, I linked to your page from mine now, just so you know.
Too cute! I love frames. It's a guilty pleasure. I'll have to try this instead of just painting all of my frames black. :)
I'm working on some similar frames right now in my dining room! I hope you'll post a picture of the "dressed up" frame after you add the bow...I've been playing with a bow on one of mine, and can't get it to look just right! :)
That's a great idea! The frame looks just fabulous. :)
Hey girl! I just wanted to let you know I am working on another clipboard and the spray adhesive worked much better, and it is not bubbling near as bad. I had a genius idea (maybe not genius, but atleast it was original). I am gonna make a couple of these little clipboards and put magnets on the back of them so they could stick on the fridge or filing cabinet. What do you think?
Love it girl!
Too cute!!
