DIY Nursery Frame

11/27/2012

Remember when I showed you how to make a basic frame out of lumber?  Well today I wanted to show you a project where we used one of the larger frames.  My sweet and creative friend (hey Jen!) had the idea to frame wooden letters for her daughter's nursery. 

She purchased letters that were decorated with pastel colors and big polka dots and I made a 1'x2' frame that we painted with Rustoleum semi-gloss white (it's low odor and fast-drying, which works for my tiny condo).  There's no backing or glass in the frame, just simple wood and paint.  But when you add the letters, it's so darn cute.

To hang, you could easily just use the heavy duty Command Strips for the frame and smaller ones for the letters.  Cheap and effective, plus no hole in the wall. 

If you need something more secure though, you could screw them directly into the wall or pick up some inexpensive picture hanging materials at your hardware store. 

And just for fun, let's frame a baby, shall we?  Yep, instantly having a better day.  Thanks, Lily!
