One of my favorite crafts: take one large ugly frame ( I found my at our local re-store for less than $1), distress and stain the BACK of the frame. Add thin wood coated with chalkboard paint (bought my presses chipboard at our local Home Depot and cut it to size with a saw, chalkboard paint in spray paint form) and antique hardware picked up for pennies ( also at the local re-store). This large beauty hangs in my dining room where I can write quote that I hope will make the kids smarter by osmosis or just holiday messages. Have had so many requests for these from family and friends I am always keeping my eyes peeled for parts, so if you see some crazy dark haired lady obsessed with the backs of picture frames at the store, say hi.
