Vintage frames for your vintage photos...

Well folks, its time for another installment of "My Mom's Basement." This week, these um, er, lovely? frames are brought to you courtesy of the black hole that is my mom's cellar. OK, so, they aren't so lovely right now, just hold your horses. Nothing a little spray paint can't fix. Ahhhh, spray paint, the crafter's Prozac...it hides all the imperfections... :)



After that, I hit the edges with a little silver glaze and then in pops a HUGE bag of brown burlap that I got from freecycle (I KNOW...who just gives away burlap??!?!?!? I mean seriously. I should mention, that the person who gave away the burlap happens to read this blog. And to answer your question Penny, no, you may not have the burlap back now. Sorry :)

After hot gluing the burlap to the back of the large frame, I made a couple of fabric flowers from the burlap, added some cute silver buttons to tie in the glaze and VOILA, magic.


After hanging the large frame on the wall, I figured out where I wanted to hang the small frame and nailed through the burlap into the wall. Then, I hung the small frame on that nail, and I am LOVING how this looks.


This is a photo of my grandmother (still living), and I just love this era. She looks so sassy...and she is, BELIEVE ME! :)



This would work great for any photo tho I think, it doesn't HAVE to be a vintage photo to look great in these frames!!!!
