RTW: Vintage Pictures {$1 store style} TUTORIAL

Marcy is here to show us how to make Vintage Pictures on a dime dollar.

 

hi. my name is Marcy(aka) a girl in a gorilla suit. i am just another mom(of 5) trying to find her creative place in this world. these past few years, i have found myself using crafts as a therapeutic tool, while facing some of the hardest challenges in my life. i am a self-proclaimed, certified NON-professional crafter who loves diet coke, m&m’s and popcorn, and usually in that order! I hope you enjoy my tutorial…

i wanted some vintage lookin’ santa pictures but i didnt want to pay a lot for them.
so i headed to the dollar store to see what i could find.
….
i spotted these gift boxes.
……
vintage lookin? yes.
picture of santa? yes.
3 for $1? triple YES!
.
..
once i got home with ’em i came up with this liddle idear
(all by my liddle ol’ self i might add!)
i started out by measuring and marking the bottom of the box,
right where i wanted my hole to be.
i used my pencil to poke a hole for my thumbtack.
then…because i am VERY o.c.d like things straight…i measured and marked my walls. then i stuck a thumbtack through the hole (on the bottom of the box) directly to the wall.

then i slid the top of the box over the bottom part of the
box that was attached to the wall.
i repeated those steps with the other two boxes and this is how it turned out……
.
.
.
i ♥ it.
…………
3 vintage looking santa boxes pictures canvases (wink!wink!).
ALL FOR $1!
love it. love it. love it. 
Thanks Marcy! Don’t forget to enter today’s Oh So Girly giveaway!
