Project Fill-o-Frame

That has to be the lamest post title ever! Sorry if i made you cringe a little.

So today is my birthday, I'm going to make a rainbow cake, tahdahh! I'll post the recipe later on or tomorrow!
But on to the post now, I thought I'd show you guys a little project I'd been working on. I've had this frame hanging around for years and just had random photos in it until now. I wanted to make it a bit different and personalised with a colour theme to match the room where it's going to go. (In my dining room - so I chose lilac and gold)

I first picked out my favourite photos of the moment and decided to make them black and white to try and stick as close to my colour scheme as possible.
I then printed some coloured/patterned paper that I thought would fit well. I also really wanted gold leaf but opted for a Easter egg wrapper instead.. hehe talk about being cheap.
Online there are tones of free printables you can personalise, I made a 'A is for Aria' one and a D+S silhouette one. (I forget what site i got them off but i will try and find it)

I then cropped and cut everything I needed and stuck the pictures to the glass using whitetac, its better than using glue for a frame like this as its not permanent and won't mess up your pictures if you decide to change it up later on.

This was how it turned out. I love it! I think it's a lot more interesting and easy on the eye than if I had just put photos in all the frames.

It turned out to be a quick, easy, cheap and fun little project. If you have any photo frames like that that need updating try filling some of the frames with patterns or other personalised things such as a handwritten family saying, or a favourite song lyric or poem or even a drawing.

Let me know if anyone has done anything like this or post links to other little projects like this, I'd love to try them!
