I’m on a frame kick. As evidenced by this post here. I got lots o’ prints in the house and am needing some cute frames to display them in. Thing is, I’m a little picky about the look. And the cost. I don’t want to drop a ton of $$$ on something unless I love it and would throw a Diet Coke in front of a bus for it. That’s love, my man.
I like unique frames that are pretty and textured and colorful and pretty. Sometimes I can’t find what I’m looking for, so I make my own.
To make your own textured frames you’ll need:
- cheap frame (IKEA, anyone?)
- old necklace with unique beads
- hot glue & gun
- spray paint
Hot glue the necklace/beads right on to the frame. Once all the beads are glued in place, cut the cord or string that was holding the necklace together and pull it gently through each strand until it’s completely out. Spray paint the frame a color you like and try to fight the urge to sniff the paint while you wait for it to dry. And that’s it! Buy fluoxetine online
Amiright? I’m thinking this is going to get a little out of hand now that I’ve scoured my jewelry box and found a whole slew of necklaces that can be recycled. Look out, frames. And look out, world.

So simple, but so cute!! This would make a great gift with a picture, and it would be fun to play around with different bead shapes and textures.

Such a cool idea, and for pretty cheap, too…that’s a big ol’ plus in my book. I also have a ton of prints and photos I want to frame, and I think plain frames can get a little monotonous ,especially since I’m a crazy decorator sometimes. This is the perfect solution. Thanks for sharing!! 🙂

That is a great idea!! So cute! I absolutely love the color too! I’ve been looking for a similar paint color for awhile (literally have swatches up on my wall right now). Would you mind sharing what you used?
Thanks!

I love this! I also love finding broken or unworn jewelry, but I usually turn it into new jewelry, so this is a cool option. Great color too!
