GIVEAWAY: Vintage frames


Currently LYB is working on an ETSY shop.  This will help accommodate a lot of the projects we do that we don't duplicate at all or very often.  Like this set of frames.
Which we are giving away!
These frames are perfect for your vintage finds and the monochromatic color scheme would look perfect just about anywhere in your home. 
ENTER TO WIN THIS SET OF VINTAGE FRAMES


(3 vintage vogue patterns included, 1 small-medium frame not included) 
a Rafflecopter giveaway
This project is super simple and easy to duplicate with just a few tools.
I'm pretty sure I saw this empty frame idea on pinterest a while back,
I have seen this remake done with the use of chicken wire too, so cute, search pinterest for more.
TO MAKE IT YOURSELF
you probably don't need a how-to, but just in case...

 SUPPLIES:
24 gauge wire
eye screws
wire cutters
measuring tape
drill and a tiny drill bit
choice of frames
I picked up 3 or 4 old frames at the thrift store for $8.  Sanded, primed and topped with an off white spray paint from WALMART.  Then sanded lightly for a more antiqued look. Including the paint and eye screws you might spend a total of $20 -$25 on this project.
 1. Measure placement for the eye screws on each side of the frame.
 About 3 inches from the top.
2. Use a drill to make it easy to twist in the eye screws by drilling a hole 1/8 to 1/4 inch deep.
3. Attach a piece of wire to each eye crew on each side of the frame.
Make it tight.
4. Fill frames with your favorite vintage finds.

    What a great idea. I love how you can easily change out the picture/paper in the frame when ever you want to. Thanks for sharing the inspiration.
