Make a pretty and special Heart Art Picture Frame for Mother’s Day for only $1!
So I’m always looking for ways to showcase O’s art without it taking over. And my parents are basically the artist’s biggest patrons. They have his work all over the place and love it. Which is why when I saw this cute and simple little heart picture frame in the $1 section at Michaels, I grabbed it right away with plans to make something special for my mom for mother’s day! I was feeling bad this year because I won’t see my mom, but O will be at her house so at least I know she will get to soak up the sweet 3 year old “I love you”s! And I hope she knows I love her too!
When that was dry, I painted the outer edges and the edge in side the heart in a dark hot pink.
Then I found a piece of O’s artwork to use to decorate the frame. This was a coloring page that he painted on top of. (Remember, if you limit the colors available, you won’t always end up with mushy brown kid’s paintings!) It was originally a picture of a lion but with the paint on top of the black lines it had kind of a stained glass effect that I really liked.
Happy Mother’s Day Grammy!!

This is such a great idea! I didn’t know the tip about lightly sanding those unfinished wood items…sometimes I am turned off by the fact they are so rough. Thanks for sharing on Hump Day Happenings!
