DIY: I (Heart) You

Over the weekend I converted some picture frames into table numbers for a wedding that is happening this weekend! I am super excited for it, given that I am one of the bridesmaids AND it's my brother-in-law's wedding.

I must apologize in advance because I did not take all of the pictures that I will be posting (since I got super excited to paint).

Lets begin!

The items you will need to recreate this are:

1 - Picture Frame
1 - Foam Brush
1 - Acrylic Paint (color of your choice)
1 - Chalkboard Paint
1 - Fan (optional)

Step 1: Unwrap and clean off your picture frame.

Ikea ($1.99)

Step 2: Begin to paint your frame with the acrylic paint (I used Cloudless by Apple Barrel).

I do not have a picture of this, but since my picture frame was plastic, it took me 3 coats to completely eliminate the red color

Step 3: This particular picture frame came with a clear insert, therefore, I used that and painted it using chalkboard paint.

Since the insert was also plastic, I used 2 coats of this paint.

Michael's ($1.49)

Step 4: After everything has dried, assemble it and the frame should look something like this


I had so much fun transforming these frames, and I think they will look perfect on every table for the wedding this weekend!

Hope you all enjoy this mini DIY!

XO Cindy
