DIY Picture Frames (Decorate Your Home Series)

Have old picture frames laying around and don't know what to do with them? Here's a project that turns something old into something new!


I recently moved and discovered that one of my picture frames wasn't so lucky to make it here alive! (broken glass). So instead of throwing the lovely frame away.. I decided to revamp this old picture frame into something new.

For this project you will need:
Scrap fabric of your choice (2 different types)
Hot glue gun/ sticks


total cost for this project about $4 dollars or in my case (totally free :) )


Step 1: take the glass out of the picture frame and remove the back card board


Step 2: cut out fabric large enough to cover the front end of the cardboard

Step 3: Glue fabric to card board to provide a back drop for your picture frame


Step 4: Find a flower pattern of your choice and cut out pattern pieces. (in my case i used a square then trimmed edges to make a rounded rectangle then i glued the bottom piece of the flower to form the shape of the petal)

Step 5: Design pieces to fit in a pattern then glue down in its proper space

Whala!! you have a brand wall art for your newly 
decorated home!

Braided Flower Headband

So I was cleaning up the house today going through some stuff I haven't seen since we moved in this apartment... (smh) and I found this twine...

 I have no idea where it came from but my guess is that you can find it at walmart... (they have everything... literally)


I cut two sets of 3 long strands of twine and braided them together each set separately.. then tied them together to make a double braided headband... 

I also made a matching pair of earrings to match the flower (also out of twine) that was on the headband.

Here is a close up of the headband.

next I think I am going to make a belt and a necklace :)
