Money's a little tight around the holidays. Can I get an Amen?
Here's a project I made for my peeps, along with step-by-step instructions and a cost tally. Get ready for it! (p.s. Try to keep yourself from flying out the door immediately. You may want to read all of the steps before you run out to the store)
Instructions1. Get a Dollar Store Frame (or one you have in your house) and take out the glass (you will not need it) If you don't like the color, but like the size of the frame get it anyway…I bought 2 silver frames and painted one black.
2. On the backing, hot glue a piece of fabric or scrapbook paper so that it overlaps on to the back. (see pic)
3. Strategically glue a ribbon across the bottom (mine has glue in several spots to hold up heavier earrings well)
4. Cut a few wine corks in half and attach them through the backing with screws or nails (make sure they don't poke through the cork. Ouch!)
5. Done
Yep. That simple.
Itemized list of things you will need to find in your house or buy:
Frame
Paper, photo, fabric or bandana
ribbon, yarn, etc (optional)
wine corks if you got em (optional)
screws or nails (optional)
hot glue gun
It is completely possible to make this for free. I cheated and bought a few things To make it cutesier.
I'll be honest and show you my expense report.
