Project 11 - Love Note Frame

Since we've moved into a smaller home, I have no wall space for all my little nic-nacs n' such. I used to have a BIG magnetic, dry erase 'LOVE NOTES' board, that the hubby and I used to write "sweet somethings" to each other. I can't find a place for it here, so I decided to make a smaller one....

It is so easy.

1). You need a frame WITH the glass. Mine was already painted green

2). From scraps of fabric, I chose a background & then another that I cut a heart out of.

3 & 4). Next, I just sewed the heart to the background fabric. I went around it about 5 times and my goal WAS to make it look messy and not perfect.

5). When putting the fabric on the frame mat, I used double stick tape. You could use a spray glue as well. Put the frame together and you are ready to write something "lovely" to the one you love...."write on the glass!"

6). Hang. Don't laugh. Or be grossed out. Mine is hanging in my bathroom. Right by the bowl. Now the hubby doesn't have any excuse. :)
