Euro store, dollar store, thrift store, pound store, bric-a-brac or whatever name you use for them in your own country, these stores very often have a wealth of useful nick nacks for the craft addict. I have found many great items in my own local stores over the years that I would have paid at least three times the price for in a regular shop. One of my most recent visits presented me with some cute little picture frames, made simply from wood with a heart shaped opening. I thought these frames were a total bargain at €1.49 each and so I stocked up - as you do...
I eventually got around to decorating the frame as gift for a friend. Some paint, découpage and a little embellishment and I had a lovely frame that would look good in any room. I chose to keep it fairly neutral using grey napkin for the découpage and some pearls, stuck over a cream background and topped off with a tiny handmade bow as you can see in the above pictures.
The picture below is how it looked before my makeover:
So glad you stopped by to read my blog.
Bye for now
