Old Picture Frames

 

 

I love old frames and found this oval one at the thrift store for $1.98.

 

 

I used my Rustoleum spray paint in the primer one coat series - in a white and then a bright red.  When you are spray painting and want a bright color, always undercoat with a good coat of white or off white.  It took the paint beautifully.

 

 

I had a spool of white buttons strung on white heavy cord that I draped across in a zig zag pattern and hot glued on the back.  Then I took tiny white clothespins and glued on some vintage family pictures (and NO, that is not me!), an old hankerchief, a  doily and a Christmas card.

 

 

 I made a little Christmas vignette using my little library step stool.  On it I put a Mother's plaque, a little red caped Christmas girl, a red Christmas glittery house, a red transferware plate and a tiny red Lucite clock.  Next to the Mother's plaque is my  book page Christmas tree and above it a red and white polka dotted little pitcher.

 

I then added a snowman candle and thought it made a really cute vignette.

 

 

It made for a fun afternoon of playing around and getting the Christmas spirit going.

 

Enjoy!
