Monogrammed Fabric Thrift Store Frame Revamp

I’m totally thrilled to introduce you to my newest sponsor!
Kimberly from Poppy Seed Fabrics!
You guys are just going to DIE when you see everything she’s got in her shop!
Okay so…
I couldn’t help myself! I ordered her “custom fat quarter bundle” for myself.
You get 10 fat quarters of your choice for only $20 bucks! Whoo hoo!
When my package came, it was like Christmas morning. I was SO excited!
I mean look at all this AWESOME fabric goodness!
(((sigh)))
lol.
I knew exactly what I had in mind for my first project, so I got to work!
I found this plastic oval frame at our local thrift store… a couple weeks back, for .75 cents… with this totally awesome print inside
(hee hee)
I spray painted it black
I forgot to take a before picture… but
It was originally this gold color.
They have SO many of these gold plastic frames at my thrift store, in all different sizes… don’t know who originally thought plastic, gold, and ugly cheap print insert would shape out to make a great piece of art… lol???
Anyway… I took my fat quarter, that I ordered from Kim, and laid my oval frame insert on the fabric and cut out a square… like so.
Then I took the square, and ironed it nice and flat.
Then I centered the oval, and made little marks around the edges, so I knew exactly where to lay the insert back down, once I lifted it up.
I then took the insert outside and sprayed one whole side with spray adhesive, and laid it flat down on the fabric… smoothing it out, to make the fabric lay flat.
Then I flipped it over, and used the same spray adhesive, around the edges, and wrapped the fabric.
The end result looked like this!
(not pretty, but no one will ever see it)
Here’s the front.
Next, I applied a black vinyl “S” to the fabric, that I had cut out.
Then I sprayed a protective gloss over the frame… put back in the fabric covered, monogrammed insert,
and DONE!
So easy!
and NO SEWING involved ๐
I’ve been wanting to change up our entryway table a bit, now that spring is over, so this cute oval frame was a great start!
I put mine in this little white trough, with some other fun home decor items, and placed a chunky little silver frame
(also from the thrift store, for .50 cents. It’s a little scratched up, abut nothing that a little silver spray paint won’t be able to fix up!)
with a fun phrase, next to it, to welcome our visitors!
I LOVE all the black and white, silver and grey with splashes of green and blue!
๐
It just makes me so happy!
I also made this SO CUTE fat quarter, grey and white polka dot pillow with ruffle flowers!
I’ve wanted a different colored pillow for our entryway, and once I got my fat quarters from Kimberly, I KNEW that I just HAD to make my new pillow from this delish fabric ๐
Here is a photo of how it turned out!

gail@My Repurposed Life says
ohhh, I got so wrapped up in leaving a comment for the giveaway, I forgot to tell you I love the oval frame! I have two, and I've been wondering what to do with them. This gives me inspiration.
thanks!

the cape on the corner says
ooh, i like the "grey" bundle. i was thinking of doing something like you did as a wedding gift for my coworker. i didn't know that vinyl would stick to fabric so easily. maybe i thought it had to be some sort of fabric friendly vinyl. looks great! i subsribe via reader.
Mandi @ Sweetly Home says
I loved pouring over her fabrics. So many great patterns. I'm loving so many of the polka dots ones. But I think I'd get the pattern for the ring stacker. With a baby on the way I'd love that sweet little toy!
Katie says
I just became a fan of kimberly's page!!!
I would love to pick a bundle out like you did… I could make so many cute bags… pillows… and wall art with it!

Brook says
Your entryway looks beautiful (again)! I understand what you mean – I've been drooling over several different sets of fabric in the past few months. ๐
I agree that the Tweet Tweet and Hoot fabric are adorable, but I believe my favorite is the Heather Bailey pop garden SWAY and ZAG STRIPE 1/2 yd bundle set. I already have it in my cart and am debating whether to buy it now or wait. ๐
