picture frame dry erase calendar

Yeah!  First goal completed only 100 left!  I’m new to blogging my crafts and I completely forgot to take a picture of the frame and picture before I started!  You’d think after blogging for almost 3 years now I would be better prepared!

Anyway I saw this idea and fell in love, Here and Here.  They both have great tutorial’s, I didn’t take enough pictures.  I’ll do better next time.  Anyway we’re in my mother in law’s basement without a lot of room.  So I decided on a 16×20 frame.  I found this awful yellow one at Thrift Town for $2.  First I spray painted it Crimson red.

Then I sprayed over it with Semi Gloss Black, while it was still wet I took a cloth and lightly wiped over the top.  The places where it was rubbed the red showed through.  It matches the other frames in the room very well now.  I was really pleased with how well it turned out actually.

It’s so hard to get a picture of the details, especially with the glossy finish.  But here is the best close up I was able to get.  It’s a nice subtle look and I love it!

Then Following the directions from the other blogs I drew the calender and days of the week on the inside of the frame with permanent marker.  When I went looking through my fabric box I couldn’t find anything light enough for the back of the frame.  Apparently I like dark colors, so I’ll have to keep any eye on the sale and scrap items at the fabric stores.  But for now I used some tan craft paper.  It’s a bit wrinkled but it will do for now.  So next just fill in and enjoy!  I put it right by the door that leads upstairs so we can all see it and add to it anytime we leave the safety of our basement.
