I hope you all have had a wonderful week. The temperatures have all of us huddled up trying to stay warm. But spring is just around the corner.
Today I want to share my new bulletin board. This is a true thrifty creation with the help of Thrifty Honey.
This past summer I got this 36x32 picture frame at a yard sale for $1.00. I had this idea in my mind but it took some time to get it all together. I couldn't decide what color to paint the frame. It was a yucky brown and I knew that wasn't going to look very exciting. So a few weeks ago I wandered through the paint aisle looking and looking. Then there it was...the sparkling gold glitter. What a bright cheery look that would give that old brown frame.
Next thing up was what do you put inside the frame to use to pin your ideas and pictures on. I thought about cardboard but it was too flimsy. I thought about covering it with fabric. But I let that idea go into the trash. Yesterday when I was visiting Hobby Lobby they had some sort of white board in the frame department. I don't know what to call it but it was only $5.99 and it was white so I brought it home. The best thing about that white board was it fit in the frame with a little help from Thrifty Honey.
So total cost for this project was $13.00. $6.00 paint. $6.00 white board. $1.00 for the frame. Plus hugs and kisses for the Honeys help!! Now this bulletin board is 36X32 and most of the stores charge anywhere from $30-$60 for one that size. Besides that... would they even have one with a gold glitter frame... LOL..
Well, thanks for stopping by and have a great "Thrifty" weekend!!
