Grand Blessings

I made my parents a gift as a thank you for everything they have done for us recently.  (Not like a gift even comes close to being able to thank someone for so much!)  I took a few ideas from Pinterest and combined them.  I saw some cute ideas that just had a wire background for hanging pictures, and I also saw ideas for fabric backgrounds, as well as using magnets.  So I used a fabric background, twine, and stuck on some vinyl lettering.  I was going to get some of those cute little clothes pins for hanging the pictures, but ran out of time.  I'm sure my mom will think of a fun and creative way of clipping the photos onto the twine.  I chose to put "grand blessings" instead of grandchildren.  I think it was a fun twist.  

I forgot to take a picture of the frame before I spray painted it, but just know that it was brown and kinda ugly.  ;)

I hot glued the fabric onto the cardboard that came with the picture. (I used the cardboard b/c using the glass would have been a tight squeeze with the added fabric and twine.)

Fun fabric, huh?  I found it at Wal-Mart.

Final product!

It was such a simple and easy project!  I am going to make some for my health classroom...but I'll use metal and magnets instead.  :)  Cork board and pushpins would be fun, too.  So many possibilities!
