Frame for Front Door Wreath


SUCCESS!

This is so cute hanging on my door—I can’t tell you how much I like it!  I painted mine blue and it has been great—very versatile for different seasons & styles.

Original Pin:
I'm going to have to get back to you on this--I know it is somewhere on one of my boards, but I can't find it.  Clearly, I need a better system

Tips/Thoughts:
·        I purchased an old picture with a good frame at a thrift store—it was much cheaper than buying a new frame, even on clearance.  The picture was easy to remove with a screwdriver!
·        I used Krylon spray paint, but I think that I might need to go back and put a sealer on it (I like Krylon’s Acrylic spray as a sealer) because it is starting to make little blue marks on my front door
·        I had a little trouble getting the frame to hang straight on the door, because the wreath hanger needs to go right in the middle, but when I have things hanging on the frame, I want them in the middle too.  Problem solved by using two ribbons to suspend the ornaments/letter/whatever from.  I tried hanging my letter from the actual wreath hanger as well, but it looked odd to me to not have anything going over the top of the frame


Sidenote--those glittered teal ornaments are also handmade--I just used spray-on adhesive and then rolled them in glitter. 

Here are some pictures from this summer too--


Humm...not sure why they are sideways...did I mention that I'm new to this blogging thing??
