I found this beauty at goodwill on DOLLAR day! Yup that’s right ONE dollar! I couldn’t believe it hadn’t been snatched up already. The picture was NOT my style, but I loved the detail on the frame. I knew with a little spray paint magic it would be perfect.
p.s. Sorry the lighting is bad, I took these at night.
Can you believe 1 dollar for this beauty?! It’s been forever since I’ve been to goodwill, but now I’m getting anxious to go.
Okay onto the tutorial…
First things first. Find a large frame and remove the picture and cardboard. Keep the cardboard. That will be your backing. Then give the frame a few coats of spray paint.
Next you will need to find some cotton batting that will cover the entire cardboard. I think I doubled the batting if I remember right. Then you will fold the batting over the cardboard and hot glue it down. Trim off any excess batting to remove bulk.
Next you will need to buy enough fabric to cover the entire board. Btw I LOOVEE this fabric.
You will begin by folding the fabric over the cardboard and hot gluing it down.
When you get to the corners, make a diagonal cut.
Then fold in the other side and glue. Once your fabric is all glued down you’ll need to start gathering some ribbon.
Measure and cut your ribbon accordingly and then glue on the back side of the cardboard.
I placed velcro dots on the ric rac to hang my velcro flowers. I make most of my flowers and place a velcro dot on the back of them, so I can interchange them. Go here for more details.
LOVE it!
The perfect place to hold all your hair accessories!
I also found this at goodwill for a dollar and thought it would be perfect to hang headbands. All I did was spray paint it blue and then distressed the edges a little. I’ve also seen these at crafts stores for 3 or 4 bucks. So with a coupon only 2 bucks. Not bad!
Oh how I love having a little girl. They are so fun! :)
So what do you think?!
Much better… perfect for all my little girls hair bows and hair clips! Got to love all the frill!
Looks so great! I am getting ready to make one too so this is perfect timing. I love the colors you chose and PS I love having a little girl too! :)

ReplyDeleteThat turned out really cute! Do you have a tutorial on how to make those flowers? I have seen them all over but can't find a tutorial for them.
ReplyDeleteNow that the holidays are over I've been wanting a new project--here it is! This is WAY too cute!
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute!! I love the new look - that frame is gorgeous. What a super stylish way to hold the flowers - it looks like a piece of artwork with all them on there. ;)
ReplyDeleteVery cute! I love anything that reuses old picture frames.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE all of your stuff! I am now following your blog, it is sooooo cute. Hope you'll come by and check mine out at http://datssocute.blogspot.com. Hope to see you soon. BJ
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea and what a great find! Can't believe that frame was only $1. Cute project!
ReplyDeleteI love this! I made one for my daughter a few weeks ago but I didn't think about using a frame. I just used a canvas and it was only 8x10, so definately not big enough. I think I am going to try a framed one. Love the variety of hair flowers you have too, your daughter must be the cutest :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a steal!!! I LOVE the detail on the frame! That's incredible :)
ReplyDeleteThis is super cute! And what a great idea. I need to start thrift shopping!
ReplyDeleteWould love for you to come link up!
