Chevron ladybug frame

I've got a stack of unfinished wooden frames that need to be turned into fun usable frames, so I dug in and created this chevron ladybug frame with the help of chevron shaped Frog tape. I don't know why I didn't try it sooner for chevrons. It's great! I got a nice clean finish with it.

I started with this plain frame from Michael's.

I painted it a base coat of white. When it was thoroughly dry, I applied the Frog tape and coated it with Bright Magenta Craft Smart acrylic paint from Michael's. Here's a little repurposing tip for you: I use empty applesauce containers to hold my paint while working. I used to use yogurt cups but we stopped eating yogurt after doing the Whole30 program. I still use unsweetenend applesauce in some recipes, and the containers are perfect for small paint jobs.

I decide that since this was a fun girly frame, it needed some sparkle. I applied a coat of Sparkle Mod Podge as the final coat. Then I glued on this cute ladybug cut out that I also got at Michael's some time ago.

I am in love with the final product!

You may have noticed my ornament topiary in my last post about my window wreaths. That was another project that was on my list last year. I was inspired by these at BHG because they were in my color scheme. I set out to make one this year. I didn't follow the directions at BHG. Instead, I did a little more searching and then just did it my way. Most people suggest painting your stryofoam ball in a complimentary color first. I skipped this step because I was in a hurry, but I do recommend you do that. I used a 4 in styrofoam ball, 3 different size ornaments and a glitter pick. I also used a dowel rod which I covered in washi tape and a planter from the dollar tree. My planter was originally bronze, but with a few coats of spray paint it became silver. You also need some foam for the planter and something to cover it with. I used moss and blue glass pebbles. The pebbles give the bottom some weight. I think this makes a much better centerpiece for this ar
