Hey friends!
If your looking for something to make your mom for Mother's Day, here's something a little crafty you can do.
Reason's why its a good idea:
1. Its homemade, which shows that you put thought and time into it
2. You spend under $20
3. Its something they'll keep forever
Picture Time!
1. Pick out what base paint you want to show through the cracks. I painted two picture frames that's why there's two colors.
2. Paint your picture frame
2. Paint your picture frame
3. Once your picture frame is painted and dry, slab on this crackle paint. It's real easy and you don't have to be careful with it.
4. Once the crackle clear paint is dry, choose what you want your top color to be. I chose off white. Its really not as yellow as it looks in the picture.
TaDa!!!!!
And that's it! Real simple and fun. The picture frame on the right has brown paint and the left frame has blue.
Piant: $1-2 a pc
Brushes: $1 for a pkg of 4
Frames: $3 a pc
Crackle paint: (I think) $4
Photos: $1 a pc
Everything was purchased at WalMart
Update on the move: Go with http://www.pensketruckrental.com/ They're not as expensive and they're friendly. Of course U Haul did say that they would match prices, but I was so pleased with Penske I'll just stick with them.
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
