Hey there people and Happy Thursday to you. I hope you're having a lovely day, wherever in the world you may be.
I have had a lovely week of arranging giveaway prizes for lucky readers, receiving my own winnings from giveaways and completing custom orders - yay!
I thought I'd share with you a DIY I did as part of an Art with Love package I made recently. Here's the lowdown.
You will need: A picture frame (I thrifted mine!), material, Mod Podge, Scissors, and a picture.
1. Take out the back of your picture frame and measure your ribbon/material against it.
2. Trim as necessary.
3. Spread out your mod podge onto the back of your board.
Try to work evenly and quickly before the mod podge dries!
4. Lay your material on top and smooth out. Leave to dry for at least two hours.
In the meantime, get your picture ready. I chose a sketch I did of Ashford Castle's grounds in Ireland.
5. Trim off the edges of your ribbon and position your picture. I decided to attach mine using these glue dots.
6. TA-DA!! Here's the finished project.
I think it looks lovely now - the blues go well together and it is a lovely frame for my art work.
If you'd like to try some more DIY projects then by all means check out my Ideas page for more inspiration.
Have a great day people!
ps. Don't forget to come back tomorrow to link up all things Etsy - stores too!

The ribbon makes a pretty mat :)
What a good idea! It gives the picture a little more instead of being empty (: thanks for sharing!

Very pretty and so simple! Thanks for sharing it Sarah! :)
Love! Simple and easy and so customizable... I've had similar ideas for some family pictures that I want more than just a plain frame for! Thanks for sharing.
