DIY Day! Just Hangin' Around

After preparing my projects for the DIY Club last week,
I got all caught up in crackle and plates!
In fact, I may have went a little crazy.
{hope my hubby likes crackle}
 After I finished making the You Crackle Me Up plate decor for
the DIY CLUB,
{if you are a DIYer, crafty person and have no idea
what I am talking about click on that link...
there is still time to join in.}
I had a few extra plates left that were already painted...
Then, out of the corner of my eye I saw yet another
soon-to-be tackled item {from the Goodwill} sitting there.
AH-HA! Light bulb!
It was a framed L with a love poem
{I bought if for the L and the frame}.
With the frame, my plates, some Decoart texture and glazes,
and Gorilla Glue, I went to work.
Supplies
DecoArt Texture Stencil, Royal Tile
DecoArt Americana Acrylic Paint, black
DecoArt Elegant Finishes, Medieval Gold
Gorilla Glue
*Large frame - the size depends on the size of plates you use. I happened to use larger plates, but you could easily do this project with smaller plates and frames.
* 1 yard {+/-} Ribbon or DISChangers {in corresponding sizes} I only used ribbon because I had already used all of the Dischangers I had on hand.
*Large stiff paintbrush  (or palette knife)
*1 or 2 Smaller stiff paintbrush (one with fine tip, one with 1/4" wide bristles)
*1 - 12" plate
*1- 8" or 6" plate
NOTE: I looked for plates with interesting edges and details on the rim...I think it made the perfect built-in frame for my collection.
Note: Sizes may vary

DIY it!
