Like so many others, it’s been a busy week getting ready for Thanksgiving! Being that we are having company on Thursday, I decided to complete a project that has stared me in the face since the summer. My neighbor got rid of her patio table top. She knows that we scrap items so she offered the top to us. Looking at the top we both concluded that the it looks like a giant picture frame. I hung it on the wall where I wanted it, empty, in hopes that it would inspire me. Eventually, I realized I want a saying in the frame or a panoramic picture of the family. I chose the FREE option knowing that maybe one day I would put a picture in the frame but at least now it isn’t empty! AND I had all the supplies at my house already.
I went to our storage room in search of items to use for this project. I found a long cardboard box that one of my boy’s gifts came in last year, an old sheet and black spray paint.
I cut the cardboard down to the size I needed and ditto for the sheet. Then, I pulled the sheet tight around the cardboard and taped it. I flipped over the cardboard and spray painted LOVE on the front. Finally, I secured the sign to the frame.
VOILA, FREE giant wall art! I am super excited and it made my day!
Are you working on any projects using items that you already own?
