Cute Spring Decor: DIY Dollar Tree Frame

 Hi everyone! Today, I'm excited to share a simple frame craft using Dollar Tree materials. We'll create an easy Spring frame design with one of their frames. I'll provide a complete materials list, and for those who prefer visual guidance, there will be a video tutorial to follow along with. 

Video tutorial

Materials:

-4x4 plywood frame (I'm using the frame with the bead design around the front)

-One mini bunny wood decoration (I found a pack at Dollar Tree a few years ago)

-Acrylic paint for painting the bunny (I'm using brown acrylic paint), and light blue paint for the frame

-Spring embellishments - I'm using spring buttons and other decorations for my frame

-Peel-and-stick decorative wallpaper - I found a few new designs at Dollar Tree

-Hot glue

-Paintbrush or spongebrush

Removing the backing from the frame:

Before you begin, remove the backing and the glass. Set the back of the frame aside.

Preparing the peel-and-stick paper:

Flip the peel-and-stick paper over. I used the frame's paper insert and placed it on the paper. I traced the shape with a pencil.

I used scissors to cut out the shape on the peel-and-stick paper.

 Remove the backing of the peel-and-stick paper and apply it to the insert. Note that the glass will not be placed back into the frame.

Applying paint to the frame:

I started with a sponge brush. I dabbed it in the light blue paint and applied it to the frame.

For smaller areas and between the bead design, I used a smaller paintbrush. Set it aside and allow it to dry, or use a heat tool to speed up the drying process. After the paint has dried, take the backing of the frame mount and reinsert it into the frame.

Painting the bunny decoration:

I used a small sponge brush to apply brown paint, thinned with water, to the bunny decoration.

Adding the bunny and other embellishments:

Lastly, I attached the bunny to the frame using hot glue. 

I added a small flower button decoration to the bunny just below one of its ears. Additionally, I included a few smaller gem floral embellishments and a mini butterfly to the design.

That completes your spring frame decoration. I love how I transformed a Dollar Tree frame and gave it a completely new look using peel-and-stick paper, paint, and other decorations. I hope you enjoyed creating this simple DIY project with me. See you soon!
