Have you taken any summer photos that you'd like to keep front and center as the season fades? Next time you're in a craft store, pick up one or two inexpensive paper mache or wood frames... With a little paint and a stencil you can make that $4.00 frame something special. I did this one for some of my Littles to keep in their bedroom so I picked mint green and soft coral colors and a fun DecoArt stencil!

Items Needed:

• Americana Stencils 12x12 - Segmented Swirls (ASMM29-K)
• Photo Frame
• Assorted Brushes

Instructions:

First, I painted the frame in 2 coats of gold metallic...

Next, I positioned the stencil over the frame...

Tape the stencil in place and start adding paint here, there and everywhere...

I added the coral color in addition to the minty green to give the frame a little interest...

This is the quickest project! And if you buy smaller frames, wouldn't they be cute on a buffet table with the name of each dish inside where the photo goes! Using paint and stencils, you can personalize the frame to any theme or color palette!

Have a wonderful day my friends!
