Abby, Emma: If you are reading this - you better stop!! ;)
Earlier this year on one of my thrift store trips, I found these urgly (yes, urgly) pictures & didn't pay very much for them. I knew they would work for some photo Christmas gifts when the time came & I was absolutely right.
I wanted to give my cousins (aka my peas in a pod) something personal that I made for them so I used pictures that I took of them earlier this year and decided to coordinate it to their individual bedrooms.
My goal is to get everything created, bought, & wrapped before December starts so the countdown frenzy is on!

- I painted the thick sides of the frames
- I covered & trimmed each with some scrapbook paper and used Mod Podge to adhere it
- I used the Mod Podge again to attach the pictures
- I used Paper Glaze to coat the top & give it a glossy top coat

CHRISTMAS IS COMING!! :D
Can't believe you didn't want to keep those the way they were - lol! Sometimes I can't get over the "art" I find at thrift stores, I can't believe that someone actually bought this stuff at one point. Anyway, your photo artwork turned out beautiful, what a sweet and special gift!
