Hey guys! I hope you all had a great Monday! I managed to get a fun project done I have been promising my girls for sometime. They memorize a Bible verse each week and I told them I would make a fun board to display in their room to help them remember the verses. I am really pleased with the outcome and I now want one for me.
Here is how I did it...
I started by purchasing this framed art from Michael's for $14.99.
I removed the insides of the frame and the glass.
Spray paint time!! I used a pink for this frame since it is for my girlie's room. This one took 2-3 coats.
Now I was ready for my next step. This is really similar to a couple of other projects I have done. I just used burlap to cover the cardboard art that came in the frame. You can also use a fun fabric or wrapping paper. I had burlap on hand and love it on lots of things:) I replaced my glass first and then I used my Gorilla Tape to put the cardboard back in place and hold everything together. Yes, the back looks quite shanty but nobody sees that!
And the whole backside...
I distressed my edges just a tiny bit.
I bought a dry erase marker and finished the job.
I put it up on the girls' wall and got a few action shots.
The very best part... I have 2 very satisfied customers... in their pj's :) !
Thanks for stopping by!! Hope you guys have a great week!!

Hi :) That is a brilliant way of using some lovely fabric without it getting ruined too! It looks fantastic and such a clever idea. Have a lovely day - Tina.
Your girls are beautiful and so is your idea.
Have to say that I love all your ideas and copied the recipe holder you made recently. Will post later on my blog and will definately give you credit for the idea (I hope I can make you proud).
Hop your to my blog and check out my GIVEAWAY.

Fabulous! My daughters have both been asking for a message board...I love it!!!
Very cute and the thumbs up picture is precious!
Adorable! Not as adorable as those two precious girls though! =)
this is adorable! i love the pink and the burlap together!!
Whitney, this is such a great idea! and you did a nice job. I'd never have thought that glass would be dry-erase, but it makes perfect sense.

Great job! (And your two girlies are so cute!! They look just like you!) ;) Love that color pink~ undoubtedly Rustoleum, but what color? That color would go perfect in my kiddo's room!
LOVE it! Nothing as good as 4 thumbs up!!!
Such a good idea! I think I have some frames floating around that would work for this! Thanks for another great inspiring project!
Such a cute idea. Love the burlap. I want to make one now too! Love & blessings from NC!
Cute idea, but I think I'll look at Goodwill first for a base- it's more frugal for me!
Please feel free to stop by the Talented Tuesday at My Frugal Family link party, and add your weekly craft links!

I really love this idea and it's purpose! My little one is learning how to read and I think this is will be a great incentive to her in helping to learn her verses!
