Crazy Christmas Crafter: The Creative Crate!

Well, Hello I Heart Naptime Readers :) !!!
It's Stacie...the craZy one behind The CrEaTiVe Crate...and I am sooo excited that Jamielyn has invited me to guest post in her CraZy Christmas Crafters event!! 

Hasn't it been FuN so far?!!  What FaBULouS projects ...and what an ALL-STAR line-up! :)  

Anyhoo....Christmas really is just around the corner, so today I am going to share with you one of my {simple and inexpensive} Christmas gift ideas:

{DIY} Beadboard Photo Display

First I cut a piece of beadboard to the size that you want. {mine was 9 1/2" x 10" ...and I used a 4 x 6 photo} 

Then... trace your photo on the foam board {that I bought at the dollar store}...
Then cut out with exact-o knife...
Then I used  spray adhesive...and sprayed my  foam board with a good even coat...and stuck my photo on...


Then on the beadboard I painted on stain over the whole board...then wiped most of it off except for in the cracks...


Then tied a piece of netting around the bottom...


And there ya have it!!  A super easy inexpensive gift for any parent or grandparent on your list!


Jamielyn...thanks so much for having me!!

HapPy {early} Holidays Everyone!!

  1. Hi Jamielyn! I forgot to mention that I stuck the foam board onto the beadboard with E6000 adhesive. That baby isn't going anywhere :) Thanks again for having me :)
