Argyle frame Fix #3

Hello everyone!

Here is another in my series of 

"fixed frames"

This frame is one I picked up at one of the thrift shops

in my area.  Haven't a clue which one, but I know it was 

cheap.  It originally had a mirror in it, which, of course,

I just popped out.

Since I'm a scrapbooker and like most of us, I have quite

a stash of paper, finding something to cover it with

was no problem.  Because of course this plain black

just wasn't going to work.

I started by laying the frame onto the back of the paper.

I drew lines from corner to corner in the opening, 

so I would know where to cut.

I also marked the corners with cut lines.

Then the fun began.

I brushed on the Mod Podge, covering the entire

front of the frame.

Then I flipped over the frame onto the paper and 

stuck that baby down.

I turned the frame over and made sure the paper 

was smooth over the entire front of the frame.

I then cut on the cut lines that I had drawn.

When I folded the paper over, the corners weren't totally covered,

to remedy that I simply took small pieces of paper and covered the

corners before Mod Podging it.

Here is what the back ended up looking like once 

I got that paper all glued down.

On the corners, I cut those cut lines and neatly folded 

over the edges and glued them down.

I then covered the front, sides and back with a few coats of 

Mod Podge and the frame was finished.

Well except for putting the saw tooth hanger

on the back and cutting the glass.

Luckily, my hubby is a photographer and custom framer

and we have lots of hangers and scrap pieces of glass.

Here it is finished with a picture of Jaryd and Sara with 

my Mom. 

I think it turned out great.

What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by today.

Come again soon and see what else I've been up to.

I'll be posting more in my

"fixed frames" series

as well as some other projects .

You never know what I'll be posting about,

so pop in now and then.

Who knows what you'll find.

Have a better than average day!
