Chicken Wire Picture Frame

Image
This is a beautiful decoration for any room in the house, This frame is perfect for showing off all the gorgeous, amazing people in our lives! (we all have them) It is a very inexpensive project. You will need: 1 picture frame ( any size ) I got mine at a thrift store for $1.50 sand paper chicken wire  (ace hardware is where I got mine) wire cutters paint of your choice stain ( optional) stapler First I lightly sanded the picture frame, then I wiped off the dust. I used 2 colors to paint mine, First a darker teal/turquoise color, then let it dry, then I sanded it to look antique, then painted lighter teal/turquoise color, let that dry, then sanded edges again to look antique, I then took a an old wash cloth and dipped it in stain, went over picture frame with stain, then took a dry towel and wiped off the stain.  After it was all dry I stapled the chicken wire to the back of the frame. Now you have a beautiful accent for your home!

Rustic Bar Stools

I wish I would have taken a before picture, they were a light oak wood color.  I got them at a yard sale a set of 4 for $25. I couldn't pass up a deal like that.   How to make : I first lightly sanded the stools, then painted with gray paint, let dry, then I sanded with electric sander, Then painted with black paint, let dry and sanded.  Thats all easy and turned out fun and rustic!
