My 1st DIY Day!! =)

This is my very first entry in Kimba's DIY Day at A Soft Place to Land!!

Yippeeeeeeeee!!! =)

Ok, so it's small and was beyond easy and doesn't compare

to the other entries, but it's mine and I like it so leave me alone! ;)

Here's the cringe inducing BEFORE:

It's a bit scary, but I got it for free so it's all going to be ok! =)

It has a goldish, greenish, brownish color on the frame that the picture just doesn't do justice (thank goodness!!)

{Let the record show that my beloved hubby was VERY skeptical that this could be anything more than an ugly old print in an uglier old frame}

I actually got 2 of them. The smaller one is the one that I made over already because I had everything I needed. The bigger one is going to have to wait because I have $0 to buy anything to do what I have in mind for it!

Here's the AFTER:

I love it!! The frame didn't have a back (and since I'm all about making it look good with little to no money when no one will ever know the difference) I just got glued my fabric right to the frame!

Sweet!!!

Oh and the fabric was a remnant I found several months ago at Joann.

I paid about $2 for it and I only used 1/3 of it for this project! YAY!

{I am now accepting ideas for the other 2/3}

I've already started on 2 smaller frames (that I already had) to hang above and below this one.

I think I'm going to paint them black. I hope that doesn't look weird.

I made a scrolly design in black on white paper for the one and I'm going to work on another later today.

Guess I showed that skeptic! ;)
