Today I am sharing a colorful and super fun quick tutorial.
My Anni is having her birthday today and I made for her party
these Cardboard Frames.
Yesterday I went to our local thrift store looking for frames to spray paint but they didn’t have
cute shapes and I was not excited about bringing more things into my home.
Back in the car the idea of making our own frames came to me… Oh the inspiration!
The rest was history…
On a cardboard box we traced the shape of other adorable frames that we had.
Then we used an exacto knife to cut the frame.
I am not going to lie the cardboard was thick, you may want to use a foam board… but what can I say?
The box was free!
I also used scissors for some areas, try them both and go with what works better for you.
Then my little helper took care of the painting!
All we had left was to wait for them to dry…
They are so fun and perfect for birthday party decorations or photo props!
The kids love them and we hope you like them… Oh cuteness!
Talking about parties… I can’t wait to see what you made this week.

Now I better go the birthday party for Anni is almost here and I still have to finish the cake,
finish decorating and come up with some birthday party games
…I love crazy!
Have fun!

Everytime I get a delivery or something comes with cardboard I size it up and stuff it away somewhere. I use it for projects all of the time! This is a fabulous idea!!!
Thanks Christine!
Clever, Desi! Great photo props! XO
What a great idea! I think I may use this for my hubby’s birthday party…but maybe not paint them pink! haha 😉
They are so fun! …You never know Kathryn maybe pink is not a bad idea 😉
Love it! Great idea!
Love it, deary! So bright and cheery, too!
Love these frames.. Great idea!
WHAT?!
I LOVE this! So inexpensive and perfect photo props!
Super cute idea Desiree- I love the colors too. That might keep my kids busy for at least a little while. Always nice to find a project they can work on together.
Thanks for sharing this idea. I pinned it so I can add it to my summer fun list for my niece.
It is fun that she can help you make them and take home to play after. My kids love them!
