Glitter Fabric Project

Vintage (as in old, chipped, imperfect) frame...

that I bought an an estate sale for $8.

I painted over it here and there with more gold paint,

and left the imperfections.

-

Then a trip to the fabric store

~ Where I found this fabulous glittered design! ~

... I wish the photo showed the blue sparkle...

-

I covered a foam core board  and VOILA!

AN INSPIRATION BOARD

for my desk wall

-

Where I hung some of my vintage-inspired art.

I am so loving the new creamy pale buttery walls and blue ceiling in here

-

The desk wall so far

... I know I probably need to paint that small cabinet white ...

~ another day ~

The inspiration board cost me a total of  $17

for the frame and fabric.  I had on hand the foam core board,

spray glue and duct tape

(not highly decorative, but I used duct tape to attach the fabric to  the back)

-

 I wasn't sure if foam core would work,

as usually cork board is used,

but I had it, so thought I'd give it a try.

-

Finally, a project that didn't take me hours and hours

more time and work than I estimated!

-

After I showed this to a friend, she sent me a link to a shop

in her town that had for sale a similar, but smaller magnetic board

with glittery fabric in a gold frame,

priced at $197.

Now I'm liking my project even more!!!

-

I am so loving glittery fabric!

~ There is just something so joyful about glitter ~

How are you incorporating glitter or sparkle into your life?
