I have purchased this frame from Michael's for about $5 a few months ago. I forgot to take a before picture. It was a brown wood looking color. I took some Antique White and applied a few coats.
I was not worried about covering into the cracks because I was going to add some distress to it by adding some watered down brown acrylic paint.
I ended up deciding to only use the fleur de lis knobs that I picked up at Hobby Lobby for 50% off of $1.99 making them $1 ea.
I then got a grill from Home Depot that my brother cut down to size for me.
I think I paid under just under $10 for this.
Then I painted the grill with Antique White spray paint and thought it was a little plain so I added brown paint to the grill as well and then wiped it off until I got the look I wanted. I then hot glued it to the inside of the frame.
I then added hooks to the back of the frame so I could hang on my wall. I love these hooks because you just hammer them into the back of the frame.
And walah! Here she hangs.
And here she is all dressed up. I love it because I had my earrings in a drawer and would hunt and hunt for my earrings. Now I can see them and they are all displayed so neat. I am thinking of making more to hang more bracelets and necklaces.
