I have a high ledge shelf (that I consider my mantel) above my family room that is perfect for seasonal decorating - plus it gets dusted 4 times a year. A while back ago I saw this cute idea to frame the seasons for a touch of class.
I went to the thrift store (I know, my favorite place to shop) and collected six frames and spray painted them black. Six frames to use for each season: Autumn, Winter, Spring and Summer.
*cut out seasonal paper to fit the frames
*print the letters in different fonts and enlarge them to 300
*cut the letters out and color them with a black marker to hide the white lines
*mod Podge them onto the paper and let dry
Ta da!
I also like to add children's art work in the frame.
This is my favorite part of the 'Spring' ledge.
I placed stones in the bird nest.
What do I do with the left over paper?
Make napkin holders for my kitchen.
Winter landscape.
Napkin and utensil can holders - great for parties and luncheons.
It's Autumn Time.
Very cute! I love it! : )
