If you like vintage robots then your going to LOVE this!!! My son when he gets a room of his own I plan on decorating his room with vintage robots. Would you like to have this picture for only a $2 to $3!!! (I can't remember how much excatly, but it's cheap.) All you need to do is go to Google and type in Vintage robots and this picture should come up. Copy and paste the picture and go print it at Costco.

STAY TUNED :) Magnetic Picture Frame!!!

After

BEFORE

What do you think I'm going to do with this old frame?????

To be continued...................

Do you want to make one of these for a special someone in your life or for you??? Well because I love you all I will tell you how I did it.

1st Step: Find an old frame that you have been thinking about throwing away. Or go to a thrift store.

2nd Step: Give it a face lift: Paint it your prefered color. White was the color I chose for my frame. Give the frame 3 coats of paint.

3rd Step: To give it a antique sand paper the frame after it has dryed.

4th Step: Go to LOWES and get yourself a 8*10 sheet of magnetic metal. Make sure to ask them for the stuff that's only a $1!! If you ask them to cut it down to 8*10 they will because they are so NICE!!!!

5th Step: Cover the sheet of medal with modge podge and place your pre-cut sheet of paper on it. Give it another coat after you have adhered it to the sheet of metal. Cut about a 1/4 of your other sheet of scrapbook paper and adhere it to the bottom. Cover it with modge podge again.

6th Step: Adhere down your ribbon with modge podge.

7th Step: Adhere your magnets with a hot glue gun to your jewels.

8th Step: Pick out some cute pictures to put on your frame. What's fun about this is you can change it up whenever your want. :)

I would like to give a big thanks to a very crafty lady for giving me this great idea!! Here is her blog address: http://www.Iheartnaptime.blogspot.com

Homemade Picture Frame

Wouldn't this be a fun and inexpensive gift for the Grandparents?!? for CHRISTMAS! This is so easy to make and it looks so CUTE when finished. 

How to:
1. Place your wooden frame on the back of your scrapbook paper. I found mine at Michaels Craft Store So there is no pen marking’s on your paper. Trace the inside and outer part of your frame. Cut out the outer part and fold paper and make a snip with your scissors and then start cutting the inside out (This is where your picture is going to be.
2. Paint the edge of your frame. Give it 2 coats and let it dry.
3. Paint your frame with modge podge and place your cutout scrapbook paper on frame. Let it dry and then paint over the scrapbook paper with modge podge. Let it dry and then punch out your embelishments and ink it with vintage ink. Use pop dots to adhere to frame.

Materials:
*Wooden frame $1 (Michael’s Craft store )
*Modge podge (Glossy)
*One sheet of Christmas Scrapbook paper and punch out paper embellishments ( I found mine at my favorite scrapbook store Timeless Treasures.)
