Denami Designs June Blog Hop – Fancy Frames

Share

It’s blog hop time with Denami Designs!  If you’ve come here from Patti’s blog, then you are right on track!

This month’s theme is “Fancy Frames”  – a theme that has a ton of possibilities. I love to frame cards in a simple line border…I think it adds such a finished look. For today’s project, though, I am doing something that I often do…taking the literal approach.

The Fabulous Frame theme inspired me to make none other than a….Fabulous Frame! Whodathunk?!

To be specific, I decided to make a framed earring holder…a project that I’ve been wanting to do for a while.

I had all the supplies on hand and this blog hop gave me the perfect excuse to use them.

I started out with a wooden frame that I picked up at Michael’s for a whopping 75 cents!!!
 
Clearly, this frame needed some love, so I created some patterned paper by stamping the D128 Elegant Floral Blossom all over a sheet of cream colored 12×12 cardstock.
Next, I brought the pattern to life with green and a few shades of pink.
Before covering the wooden frame, I used a pair of pliers to pull out the metal pieces that are intended for holding a photo.
With that complete, I pulled out my beloved Mod Podge and wrapped the frame in the patterned paper.
**For a rundown on using Mod Podge, take a look at this previous post. 
Once the frame was covered, it was time to add something that would hold earrings.  Lucky for me, I have about 48″ of aluminum mesh left over from my plantable paper project! The mesh is the perfect medium for hanging earrings. I used a staple gun to attach the mesh to the back of the frame (not pictured).
As a final little piece of pizazz, I created three rolled ribbon flowers using the Denami grosgrain ribbon! I mounted them to the corner of the frame as an accent! I love the way they turned out!
All in all, this project took me about 45 minutes from start to finish! Not too bad for a handmade gift for a friend!
I love the shabby chic feel that this frame has…it’s a nice departure from my typical style of modern, clean lines.
Hope this framed project inspires you to make a fabulously framed creation of your own!
Thanks for stopping by for some Damask Love!
Now it’s time to move on to your next stop in the hop:
Supplies:
Stamps: Denami (Elegant Floral Blossom)
