Monogram Frame


I made this frame for a friend's shower today.  Literally took me 16 mins...woulda been faster but I stopped to take pics! ;) 
{The doll is from Christine Dallimore, email her for your custom sweetie: chrisylee12@hotmail.com!}

D*I*Y:

Supplies:
Picture Frame, any size.
Acrylic Paint.
Foam Paint Brush.
Vinyl Sticker/Stencil.

Directions:
Step #1: Start with a frame, I recycled mine from an old kitchen theme.

Step #2: Remove backing from frame.
Tip: you can sometimes re-use the staples that were holding the picture to keep the glass in place as I was with this particular frame.  If not, there are nifty little glass holders you can find at Michael's pretty cheap that will do the job!

Step #3: Paint desired color.

Step #4: Cut vinyl letter or stencil or freehand on to frame.

Tip: Remember to cut it/stencil it backward if you're putting it on the back of the frame. 
The back side is nice because it won't get damaged easily like it would on the front side.

Step #5:  Enjoy!
{Added the monogramed frame to another gift for an extra wow factor.}
