good crafternoon to you. {a guest post by abbey}
These long, blissful, summer days have been putting me in a crafty mood lately. I just want to make pretty things all day long! So, I thought I'd spread the mood by sharing a lovely little DIY with you.
{step three} Put the glass cover back in your frame, followed by the square/rectangle of scrapbook paper, & then the back.
{delightful dry-erase boards}
you will need:
a picture frame with a glass cover
a sheet of scrapbook paper
acrylic paint {optional}
scissors or a papercutter
a dry erase marker {black works best}
{step one} Take the back & glass cover out of your picture frame and set them aside. If you'd like to paint your frame, now's the time. Make sure your frame is made of a suitable material to be painted on. Unfinished wood frames are perfect for painting.
{step two} Once the paint has dried, measure the inside edge of the frame. Take your piece of scrapbook paper, and cut your square or rectangle with those dimensions. If you find that your square/rectangle doesn't fit in the frame easily, just trim it a bit.
{step four} Sit back and admire your lovely handiwork. Grab a dry-erase marker, and doodle away! The marker is really easy to erase with a whiteboard eraser, or just a tissue.
Use these pretties to decorate your walls, as a reminder board for your locker, or whatever else you come up with. Happy crafting!
