Altered Vintage Frame Christmas Art
When Tobin and I moved in together, we both went through ALL our stuff and got rid of a lot of it... stuff we had duplicates of, stuff we didn't need (like things we hadn't used in a year or more), and stuff we didn't want anymore.
But when it came to crafting supplies and repurposable things (items I was keeping because I knew they could be repurposed into something else cool), well... that was harder.
There were just some things that I couldn't part with! Oh, I tried too! One was the frame that I used to make this piece of Christmas art. I priced it and put it in the sale we had but it didn't sell so I put it back in my stash!

Here is what it looked like before I started. You can find lots of these vintage swivel frames on Etsy!
I always thought it was cool looking and could be made into something even cooler.
I started this project by making a cardboard tag. This was actually a card that bias tape comes on and I used the beige paper under it to cover it and make it a little nicer shade of off-white.
Now, it's time to fix that torn bell! I started the repair by just taping it together a little better than it was.
These are the areas I'm attempting to disguise.
The 25 numbers are from an old bingo card.
This was a fun project, it's always fun to create little mixed-media collages like this.
This turned out so cute! Thank goodness for your saved craft stash. I love those little old frames! I saw the little bears you made in your shop and they are just the sweetest ever. (I liked Rosa the best.) You have so many cute things in your shop.
