See, very antique-y..
I got out some brown paint and some Metallic "oops" paint I found for one dollar at Home Depot!
*A Helpful Hint* When paint departments mess up or have returned paint, they change it and put it out as discount paint!! Just ask where they put their's out!
After the brown dried, I just glazed over the accents with my metallic, matches my kitchen perfect!
When all the paint dried, I put the glass back in and printed out some pictures wallet-sized.
These are close ups of the edges.
I bought some small round magnets at Hobby Lobby and hot glued them to the back of the frame.
This is The Hot Glue Drippings Monster... He wants to get all over your stuff! lol
And now they're cute memories on the fridge!!


Love your frames and what a great idea to turn them into fridge magnets!

Super cute! I love the metallic accents. And the hot glue monster. LOL.
ReplyDeleteVery cute to turn them into magnets. Thank you for the tip on the paint discounts. I had no idea that paint could even be returned, much less that Home Depot offered "discount" paint.
