I've been framed....actually I've been framing.
There are so many wonderful frames that can
be found at really good prices.
The things you can do with them! Bulletin boards, jewelry holders, why you can even frame your art...who would have thunk it..haha!
Today I will show you one of our finds.
Here is a sweet white ornate frame we found at GW [Goodwill is our friend].
See how pretty and detailed she is...didn't have to paint her or anything.
Take a gander at that price....didn't have to think twice about buying this sweetheart!
Wonder what the gold was from and what was hanging in this frame before?
The back isn't very pretty...
Duct tape and masking tape. Should have known better and just started with the duct tape.
I taped the edges of quilt batting and fabric around foam core...pulled them nice and tight till my surface was smooth.
Ta-da! A bulletin board for my craft room!
Hanging right above my sewing machine.
When I'm using a pattern I pin it up along with any buttons, zippers, etc. until my project is completed.
Handy Dandy, huh!
I will be sharing more of my frame-ups later,
until then.....
maybe you can share some of your frames with me. Just leave your blog link in my comment area....
Would love to see some your beautiful frame-ups.

Thanks for visiting my blog this morning! I LOVE your new frame!! I am in awe of how inexpensive it was. What a steal! That's such a great idea to frame your bulletin board after covering it in fabric. I enjoy reading about ideas like that. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my...only $2.50? That is one beautiful thrifty frame...love the idea you had for it.
Blessings,
Linda
I've been a frame fan for a few years now. This G.W. find is great, didn't even have to paint it! Fabric is really pretty, too. Thanks for linking up with Tuesday's Club G.W. with Charm Bracelet Diva Party! Love to see you there!

So clever and really cute! Bess
Wow what a gorgeous frame and such a fantastic price!! I have several frames that I am working on- my spray gun decided to quit right in the middle of spraying a bunch of things - darn! Guess I might have to get the brush out and finish them up!
Really like the fabric you choose too!

$2.50! What a bargain! My GW has nothing but real junk! A plain l-inch, unadored frame is $5.99.
Hope you will bring one of your creative posts or projects to Potpourri Friday! It's a fun party and you would be an asset!
Beautiful finished product! Thanks for linking to Wicked Awesome Wednesday.
Thank you for linking this to BeColorful's Motivated Monday. Such a good find and I adore the fabric you chose. I am also crushing on your bedspread? throw? The red fabric beneath the frame. I've never seen red chenille . Love it.

Your frame is gorgeous! And what a steal, the GW out here can be pretty pricy! I love ornate frames, too, and have been collecting them and painting them for my Etsy shop. You can never have too many frames:)
