Fun Foilicious DIY Frame
Fun Foilicious DIY Frame
In the Designer's Words: "Upcycled dollarstore frame featuring products from Plaid, Fairfield World, Therm-o-web, Sizzix, and Sakura of America. This is a very easy frame that can be completed in 2 hours."
Learning how to decorate old frames is a trendy way to decorate your home on a dime. Old frames often have the perfect shape and size, but are often too boring or too gaudy to hang up without an update. That’s why projects like this Fun Foilicious DIY Frame are perfect for decorating. With just some paint, some cute patterned paper, and faux flowers, an old and dull frame easily becomes a lovely piece of DIY wall art for your home. If you prefer frames filled with photos, this DIY craft could easily be updated to display a memory.
