Up-cycled picture frame

A simple old picture frame, minus the glass and the backing....


Same old frame, painted with a base coat of black and a top coat of blue; then sanded to give it an aged look. Over the blue, I rubbed some "Antique Glaze" to give it an even more aged look....


Next, some "chicken wire" and a staple gun to attach the "chicken wire" to the back of the frame...


All "stapled up" and ready for the next step.....


I attached  a few little glass bottles with string and a few sprigs of lavender  - in summer I'll exchange the dried lavender blossoms for  pretty, colourful blooms for a bit of cheer....


And finally......

Happy day!!!
