I absolutely love the idea of signs you can change with the season - be it picture frames, chalkboards, cute bunting... It saves a lot of time (and money) - and can also be much easier to match to your home decor.
I saw similar frames on Pinterest - and knew I wanted to make one for the upcoming holidays.
This project is SO easy (no hardware!) - and can probably be completed with things you already have laying around your garage.
I started by digging out an old antique frame out of the collection my father in law had given me. The one I used is about 2'x3' - I wanted it large enough to hold a wreath.
I primed it with Kilz spray primer, then spray painted it (Heirloom White Rustoleum 2x spray).
I then cut my scrap wood to fit the frame, stained it (Minwax 'Dark Walnut') and distressed with with my electric sander.
I simply stapled the wood slats together so give them a little security, and used wood glue to attach to the back of the frame.
Clamped it together and let dry overnight. I decided not to use any hanging hardware, since I will be using a cookbook stand to display it, in case I want to switch up the direction it lays.
I absolutely LOVE it and know it will get lots of use in the months to come! (Cross is from Hobby Lobby).
I'd love to see your pictures if you decide to try your own version!
