Backless Frame + Initials = Cute, Inexpensive Decor!

So, after having recently re-done my kitchen, I've decided that I need to add some decor on the bare, blue walls. In my before pictures, there is a green frame hanging on the wall with initials inside. Well, I took that and re-did it to match the new kitchen colors.

Here is a tutorial on what I did from start to finish. Total, this project cost me $1.50!

I took a backless frame that I bought at Goodwill for .99 cents and painted it to match the wainscoting, Sail Cloth is the color. In between coats, I Mod Podged the initials, K & A that I had on chipboard from Michaels. I had purchased them about a year or so ago for around .50. I used some shabby chic floral colors that would match the look I was going for. After the first coat of Mod Podge was dry, I did another coat on top of the scrap book paper to seal it.

Once the Mod Podge was completely dried, I took 2 burlap strips that were scrap from another project (see it pays to save scraps) and hot glued them to the back side of the initials. Once the paint on the frame was dry, I hot glued the top of the strips to the backside of the frame and Voila! A super cute, inexpensive piece of decor that is one of a kind!

Happy Monday!
