I got a big ornate plastic frame the other day at an estate sale. I always grab them when I see them (if the price is right) as they are good for my crepe paper projects. That is the frame on the right with rest of my estate sale finds from a couple of weeks ago. Usually when I find the frames they are gold.
They spray paint well and I like how much crazy ornate detail they have.
In my Valentine stash I had part of an old crepe paper table cloth that someone had saved. It was time to put the tablecloth to use.

I saved the cardboard backing to use as a template to make a new one. This one was creased and it wouldn't work for my project.
I picked up a can of spray paint at Lowes. I was really surprised how many colors they carried of this brand! There must have been 50 different colors. The frame took two coats of paint.
I spray mounted the crepe paper to the new cardboard backing and then popped it into the freshly painted frame.
I like how large the frame is and how the crepe paper adds a huge pop of Valentine color to this display.

A good afternoon project. It was also nice to actually put that scrap of crepe paper tablecloth to good use. A super addition to my Valentine decorating stash!
On another note with old crepe paper scraps...here is a Halloween proect I did using the same sort of plastic frames and crepe paper. Easy way to showcase some vintage graphics.
Happy Day!
