I'm not too good for the 4 for a dollar basket


Yep, you heard it right...4 for a dollar, does it really matter what's in the basket...surely I can find something to do with these trinkets, I tell myself. Trinkets? These jewels are hardly trinkets, just a stockpile of slightly scratched picture frames. I painted my little man (see yesterday's post) statues on Sunday, so I haven't actually done this project, but here is my idea.

Take all of the picture frames (I bought 16 frames), different sizes, different shapes, different materials, and paint them all the same color (I'm thinking black, white, orange or red, depending on your wall color). The frames should "pop" off of the wall, so if you have a dark wall, choose a light color for the frames and light walls choose a dark color, or if you don't give a crap paint them orange or red, that will "pop" on any wall (this is my choice). Hang the frames in a random pattern, starting at the center point of your wall, and try to keep the distance between the frames the same between all frames.
