Refinished Picture Frame

We recently decided to have a Relief Society Activity called "Purposely Repurposing." We had a few sisters in the ward come and teach about making your own headboard and refinishing furniture, but my favorite part was all the displays we set up of items people had repurposed. I got tons of new ideas, got to go through my own home and find what I had created and even finish a few projects that I had been meaning to do.

This cake stand was made with a glass glued to a plate and then  painted. The picture fame turned Jewelry Holder was made with chicken wire, fabric and adding knots.

Check out the height recorder that you can take with you now matter where you move and the wreath is made form an old book.

There is so much to see on this table. I love the use of candle holders. The orange candle holder was a Goodwill find that was spray painted.

One of the lady bought this dresser mirror at Goodwill and painted the frame gray. She painted the mirror with chalkboard paint. So Cute.

I found this globe at the Pottery Barn Outlet. It was ripped, so took it to a manager and asked him so mark down the price for me. He did so I bought it and painted it with chalkboard paint. I then got a friend to cut out these letters for me with her Vinyl machine. Love it!

Did you notice the Blue Chicken Wire Picture Frame? Perhaps you remember it from Austin's birthday.











The Frame was a Goodwill find. I thought the gold was perfect for Austin's special day, but after the party I got the idea to paint it in my favorite blue. I started by filling in any of the imperfections with wood puddy and then primed and painted it. I then purchased a roll of chicken wire from Home Depot and stapled the chicken wire onto the back of the frame. Then using small clothes pins I attatched pictures and invitations I needed to remember. Perfection.
