Dollar Store Craft–updated frames

I bought these frames from the dollar store for $3 each, not sure why it’s called a dollar store when it’s more than one dollar…anyway :)

I painted them with a brush first and I have to tell you, I am confident that I’m the worst painter ever! So I spray painted them and they still aren’t perfect but they are good enough for me. The corner pieces came in a pack of 4.

I am working on updating my spare bedroom, with things that I already have in the house so that it doesn’t cost me any money. It is satisfying to make something out of nothing. I definitely need a rug and that will be a diy coming up soon.

That’s the weekend done, back to the grind. Wishing you all a wonderful week.

  1. Nice job on the frames. What the heck! I didn't know the Dollar Store had anything more than a dollar! But those are a neat shape! Sure they're worth a lot more than $3 now. :)

    Have a great day.

  3. It went too quickly didn't it? Your spare room is looking gorgeous! I'm sure you'll figure out a great DIY rug for it too. Those frames turned out great, what's up with that $3 price tag at a Dollar Store?

  5. I have frames that almost look exactly like that and I was just thinking the other day that they required paint. I love the corners you put on them though...perfect.

  6. I just bought four of these today - exactly the same from my local dollarama! I plan to paint them too... what a great little frame shape if you can see past the original design. I love what you did with them!!

  7. Those little corner pieces are adorable. Are they from the dollar store too, or more of a home-depot-bracket thing?
