A new bulletin board

As I've mentioned before, I went thrift store shopping while on vacation.  This will be the first of my makeovers that I found there.

These are the items I started with:

When I first picked up the blue picture frame, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. I wanted to turn it into a bulletin board. But not just your everyday bulletin board. I wanted to be able to use clips instead of magnets and twine instead of metal.

Here is the before:

This frame had a nice price tag of $1.50 - just call me the last of big time spenders.



After removing the picture inside (which was just a piece of paper with cardboard backing) and the birdhouse on the front, I gave it a couple coats of black paint.  Once more I turned to my Cricut machine for the vinyl lettering and turned this once donated picture into this:



This frame now has a new home in Sierra's bedroom - hence the Paris theme.

Total cost  - $ 1.50 and little bit of time.  Everything else I already had on hand.

Thanks for looking
