It’s not only super easy, I made it for under $10! Â Whoop!
Here’s how:
I purchased a 1×12 @ 4 ft. and cut it in half. Â You can make 2 of these frames with one board!
I bought an MDI letter from Hobby Lobby for about $1.  (pick them up when they are one sale)!  It’s the initial of our last name 🙂
I wiped on one-coat of Light Walnut stain, with a foam brush. Then I let it sit for about 5 minutes and then wiped the stain with a clean cloth.  Don’t wipe the stain away, just blend it.
While the board was drying, I sprayed 2 coats of Chalkboard Spray Paint on the letter T.
I love how the letters turned out on my Fall Chalkboard Sign, so I used the same technique. Â Just rub a piece of chalk all over the letter and wipe it off. Â It gives the letter a true chalkboard look.
I picked up this 8×10 frame from Wal-Mart for $3!  Score 🙂
I sprayed about 2-coats of our favorite, Rust-Oleum Heirloom White on the frame
and distressed it with my Corner Cat Sander. Â Loved using this sander on the frame. Â The point on the end made it so easy to get in the corners of the frame.
To hang the frame, I put a screw about 2 1/2″ from the top of the board (just eyeball it)
Now, rip off the thing on the back of the frame that makes it stand. Â I just bent it backwards until the hinge popped off. Â Now you can just hang it on the screw.
To attach the letter, I used Gorilla Glue Super Glue Gel. Â I just centered it on the bottom half of the board.
To finish her off, I added a few burlap, flat-rolled rosettes. Â Three on the bottom left corner and one at the top right corner of the frame. Â You can check out the tutorial for these cute rosettes HERE.
To hang, I just used a sawtooth hanger on the back of the board and an anchor in the wall.
LOVE 🙂
I’m thinking Christmas gifts 🙂 You could also glue the frame down but I like to be able to swap the pictures out 🙂
I hope you love my cute, DIY Picture Frame 🙂
