Picture Frame Twine Board

This week was all about quick crafts.  I'm just going to show you one today tho.  This one was so simple.

First I painted an old picture frame using some beige acrylic paint - I slapped on 3 quick coats and then gave it a light distressing .  As you can see, we have the makings for several projects going on here.  :-)


Then I hot glued a piece of burlap to the back of the frame.  And finally I just pounded a couple of nails into the side of the frame and wrapped some twine around them.  Add a couple of mini clothespins and that's it...


A perfect place to hang business cards and coupons over my desk.  You could also hang cards or even jewelry from something like this.


See, I told you it was quick and easy.

Key to my Heart

Louie bought me a letter stamping kit for Christmas.  Does anyone out there do this?  I've been wanting to try it for the longest time and I was so excited to start.

Here's the first thing I've made so far....


I used one of the skeleton keys I got at an estate sale last summer and some twine that Chablis had in her craft box...

The stamping is quite fun and I wish I had more free time to mess around with it.  The hardest thing for me is getting the dark marker in the letters and wiping away the marker surrounding the letters while leaving it inside the letters.  Cripes, does that make any sense?


If anyone has any tips, please send them over.
