Guest Designer: Shay Tibbs
Hello there! I hope you’re all as excited about March as I
am and I hope you enjoy my first post as guest designer here at October
Afternoon!
Today I want to share with you a little DIY home project. I just got a new
place this past Saturday and have been in decorating mode. I thought it would be super fun to
share with you.
Quick & easy with just a few supplies, a house can really be turned into a home with one of these:
All you’ll need is a few supplies you may have around the house or that can
easily be picked up from Home Depot or Lowe’s:
a can of spray paint
chicken wire
a frame [any size you want!]
string or twine that goes withyour theme
a few pictures
clothespins
your favorite OA line - even if it’s just bits & pieces!
For my project, I decided to use Farm Girl, and it inspired me to grab up
pictures my grandmother had around the house of her childhood! What perfect
papers and embellishments to add to those old black & whites she has boxes
filled with!
To start, I spray painted my frame with yellow, left it for a while while it dried, and pre-cut my chicken wire. I then found some twine and decided how I wanted it to drape between my frame, simply tying it onto the chicken wire.
After that, I just added pics - these are photos from my grandmother’s
childhood. I layered it with the Farm Girl banners, chipboard pieces,
brads, andjournaling cards - and
here’s how it turned out:
I really think this turned out cute and it was so easy! Now I want to make them
for everyone … such a perfect gift! My grandma will be thrilled to have a frame
to display these in and Farm Girl was such a great line for an around the house
project!
See you next week!
