DIY Picture Frame Gift w/ Video

I wanted to make a fun gift for my parents for the anniversary at the end of the month.  I love to give them something personal, so this time I made a fun little frame wit the kids pictures on it from a professional photo shoot we did this past summer. 


I even made a second frame for my in-laws just because it was easy to make the first one!!

It is a very slight difference in what I used, but the main difference are the flower and the Eyelet Outlet Bling.  I used the same color of bling, but one is in crystals and the other in in pearls, both champagne color.  Here is a video on how I made these fun frames.


Here are some up close pictures of the fun frames.

Decorative Home Decor Letter w/ Video




I love the large decorative paper mache letters you find at all the big box craft stores.  You can do so much them with them, and when I got my Rinea foil papers I knew I had to make something fun with it!!
 This letter can be used for all kinds of things, as a decorative mantle home decor piece, by the way the "R" is for Reed my last name. Right now it is sitting on my mantel over my fireplace, but this is so light it can be hung on a wall, on a table surface, as a letter for a kids door.  You can even do the rest of the letters in your name and make it larger.  The possibilities are endless.
 

 

Here is the full video on how I made this fun decorative letter.


 
The main part of the letter is covered in Rinea foils, I used the embossed copper color and it make it look so rich and beautiful!! I even added in the foils to the flower up in the corner!!  Top it off with some beautiful brads and pearls swirls from eyelet Outlet and you have a beautiful decor piece.


The paper takes distressing really well.  I used a little bit of sandpaper to distress the foil and it looks amazing!!

Foil - Rinea
Decoupage - Mod Podge
Pearls - Eyelet Outlet
Brads - Eyelet Outlet
Flowers - Eyelet Outlet
