Halloween is in seven days. Are you ready? Since I haven't finished unpacking yet, and my new home is nothing like my old home, I'm constantly tweaking my holiday decorations. They just don't seem to fit the new house. I added my easy bat aviary earlier in the week, but it wasn't enough. I needed more Halloween printables!
No time to create lots of fancy printables and find just the right frame. The word "Boo!" and an existing frame are just the thing. Check out how I temporarily transformed my frame without damaging my favorite picture underneath:
The frame is actually a block of wood with an image decoupaged on the front. I thought of using blue tack (the kind teachers use on their walls) to stick on my Halloween printable, but I was afraid it would leave an oily residue. It's not supposed to, but I didn't want to risk it. I saw my baker's twine in a drawer, and knew that might be just the cute touch I needed.
All I did was cut a long piece of string, tape one end to the back, wrap it tightly around my "Boo!" image several times, and then tape it again. If you do this, make sure to pull the string tight so that the image can't slip. I got lucky and had this cool wood block frame, but I think I'd still try this same idea over a glass frame. Why not?
