{mini project #2}

I am still working on my project for the weekend, but I did complete a mini project in between all the waiting for paint to dry.

We were given a few pictures that were Zac's when he was a little boy and I knew I wanted to incorporate them into Hayes's big boy room which is still a major work in progress.  Here is the before picture of one of the pictures:

It's a cute picture and Hayes LOVES that it is baseball but you can tell it is a little dated.  I originally thought I would just updated the maroon mat, but after closer look I noticed it was all one picture.

So I cut the paper backing off and pryed open the picture.  First thing I wanted to do was paint the frame.  His bed is black and that was the can of spray paint I had so we went with that.

So far, so good....

I then got out the only craft paint in red that I had that was not completely dried up and I painted the maroon mat a raspberry red color.  It took two coats and actually covered pretty well.  Don't look too close!

The finished picture is much better and more updated!  I can't wait for Hayes to wake up from his nap so I can hang it up in his room.

It was so easy and who knew craft paint would work on a picture too?

Stay tuned for my other project to be posted later today or tomorrow.
