While talking to some other
bloggers about how to decorate for valentines day for my booth a couple of the ladies came up with some good ideas. Since this is not usually a Holiday I decorate for I was at a loss except for all the stuff the kids make at school.
Well thanks to
their suggestions I came up with a fun little decoration. They had said to buy some vintage silver frames and put vintage decor in them. Well our thrift stores don't get than nice of frames in so I figured I would have to make some of my own. I got my
Krylon mirror spray paint and some plain black frames and gave them a couple coats with it. I like how it didn't stick to all of the frame giving it a distressed vintage feel. I love how it made them look like the mercury glass style.
I then found these cute valentines
printable's from
THE GRAPHICS FAIRY and
Miss Cutiepie Inspiration. I just printed them off and put them in the frames.
They turned out so cute and simple and gave a nice vintage Valentine feel to my mantle.
I hope you all have a BEAUTIFUL day.

Awww. How cute! I don't really decorate for Valentines but these are a very sweet idea. I do love how those frames came out though! Talk about a fortunate accident! They look so nice with that spotty mercury look. :)
I love vintage pictures! They really go with Valentine's Day. There is something romantic about them. Love what you did!
Love your idea, well done.
Did you do any prep work on the frames before spraying the looking glass paint?
Might give this a try if it is as easy as spray, dry and done!
Thanks for sharing, Fran

They look great, I love the mercury glass!
