Monday Made It #1


This is my first Monday Made It! I have been loving this blog series, thanks to Tara at 4th Grade Frolics. I am just so inspired by everyone's DIY projects.

This past week, I went to the dollar store and grabbed three "document" frames, which were standard paper size 8 1/2 x 11 in.

I spray painted the frames this cute lime green color to go with the rest of my pink/green room. Since the frames were a weird cheap wood, the spray paint didn't take perfectly the first time, but it looked kind of rustic and intentional, so I never did a second coat.

My fiance says I spray paint wrong because I'm just having a spray party getting spray paint all over. But that doesn't matter because I had fun and they turned out great IMO :)

Then I just hot glued some ribbon onto the top of the frames so that I could hang them off of some command hooks on my wall.

Here's how they turned out!
