Think Crafts Blog – Craft Ideas and Projects – CreateForLess

I wonder if everyone has a stash of frames for which they’ve never found the perfect picture. I sure do. And as if my own bunch weren’t enough, I recently took part in a re-gifting swap and got another! My swap partner sent me a frame she’d gotten as a wedding gift and just “could not make [her]self love.” Well, me neither!

But it was perfect for Halloween!

The frame started like this:

Then I took black and purple paints, which my able assistant was happy to apply:

As you can see, this is a kid-friendly craft. The next step, finding images online to go in the frame’s ovals, was also kid friendly. We found two we liked, printed them out, and inserted them, and then tied a big bow with wire-edged coordinating ribbon.

Last step was to hang our charming couple on the front door. I think they like the view!
