Welcome Frame DIY

This is one the projects that we made at Creative Escape

 that was taught by Heidi Lynn Schreiber

Here's a pic of a frame she made with her last name

and other ones she had displayed @ her trunk show

 
 
 It looks great with a frame but our project didn't come with a frame

so yesterday I went to our local Salvation Army to look for a frame

& I found this old custom made one for $3.50

 
I cleaned it off a bit & took it outside to dry

 
I bought this awesome chalkboard spray paint

I chose chalk because I wanted a matte black finish

& I have other projects I need to use chalk paint for :)

spray the frame

 
 while I let that dry before I applied my 2nd coat

I let Abbey out for a walk...or poop :)

 
spray the frame again & let it dry over night.

So today I put it all together

 
Looks lovely on our red door :)

 the board size was 18 x 14 but I couldnt find an exact size frame

so the one I found was 18 x 16 so I just added 1"  blue strip

on the top and bottom of the chipboard black board.

Have a happy hump day! :)
