Recently I was going through some old boxes of things I used to have around the house a long time ago. I found these little shadow boxes I bought from Hobby Lobby maybe six or seven years ago. My first thought was to toss them, as I don't like them anymore. But then I thought, why not use the frames and turn them into something else?First, I found a boring, old print at the thrift store:
Then I removed the backs of the shadow boxes:
I used the backs to trace the exact shape out of the print (these frames were not perfect shapes and not the same size at all):
Then, using the same steps I used here, I adhered tiny vinyl letters and painted over the whole thing:
After pulling off the letters, I ended up with these:
These are lyrics from the Beatles song Dear Prudence. I'm so glad I didn't throw these away. Did you make anything this weekend? I want to see!
looks great! i have been wanting to try that kind of re-do for a while, but i am having a hard time finding a painting that will work. yours came out perfect!
