Framed Name

I saw these cute little frames at the dollar store and decided to make a craft project out of them using our last name. First I had to spray paint them black, of course:

SS852478

Then I took some of my favorite scrapbook paper and some rub-on letters to spell out our name:

SS853555

This is the “C” and it’s hard to read so I used my handy dandy sharpie marker to fill in the letter:

SS853557

There, that looks much better. Here’s the rest of the letters:

SS853560

And here they are in the frames:

SS853565

SS853562

I’m not sure about the “A”. I might make a new one. It’s still a little hard to read because of the paper.

I don’t know where I’m going to put them yet. Maybe over all the kids school pictures in the loft or in the mudroom when it gets finished or maybe by the front door, because we have another family in the neighborhood named “Jacobson” and I get called that more than “Jacobs”. I could use it as a friendly reminder. I’ll let you know where I decide.

    What a cute idea! I love that you found the frames at the dollar store! Bargain!! I didn’t notice that the “A” was hard to read until you said something about it. It’s easy to tell what it says if you don’t think about it:) Looks way cute!

    I really like that, and I like how you set them right next to each other, without any space between, I think that looks awesome!

    I am a HUFE fan of personalized items, so this is right up my alley! Great job. Even the colors are ones that I would have chosen. Love it all!
