I bought a plain black frame at DI for $2 a couple months ago, and this is what I had planned to do with it. I didn't get around to doing it until now, though.
I spray painted a layer of white so I wouldn't have to hand paint so many layers of the cream. This is the squiggle of paint and I just used a foam brush.
this is the frame all painted.
I went outside and found a stick and broke it to the length I needed it to be. Then I painted it with some teal that we had.
I took a piece of sandpaper and rubbed on the edges and then the surface to scratch it up a little. The black showed up behind it and I think it added a lot of character.
It almost killed me to shun my glue gun, but I knew down the road I would want something more sturdy, even if it didn't dry very fast. :)
I laid the stick across and clamped it down with two of my dads clamps to let it dry.
There was a little extra because I didn't really know how much I would need so it kind of took a while to dry.
I bought this a little while back and it matched the paint really well so this is what I used for the earring hangings.
here's the whole thing (I just hadn't put my necklaces on it yet, obviously).
these are all of my dangly earrings. I just keep all of my studs stuck in a piece of foam...maybe I'll have to do something about that... :)
