DIY Halloween picture frames

Hi, it’s Jessica from Mommy Envy! Once September hits I like to pull out the Fall and Halloween decor. Fall is my favorite season and I feel like it never sticks around long enough. And winter is my least favorite so I try to make Fall last as long as possible.

My kids and I have been feeling a little cooped up this week. We typically walk every morning but I have a knee injury and haven’t felt like walking much. With a few left over supplies from other projects my oldest and I put together these fun DIY Halloween Picture Frames.

I used some scrape pieces of wood and craft paint left over from other projects. The ends were a bit rough from the saw so I sanded them down a bit and then we painted them. I absolutely love using purple and green in my Halloween decor. And my little helper was so excited to paint with me!

What we used:

  • 3 pieces of scrap 1x6s
  • sandpaper (80 and 220)
  • Acrylic craft paint (purple, orange and green)
  • Foam paint brushes
  • Furniture wax or conditioner (Howards – smells like oranges!)
  • Metal thumb tack and binder clip for each picture frame

I sanded each piece before we started painting. This project was really easy for my 3 year old to help with. We just made sure he was in a shirt that could get paint on it. After a coat or two we let them dry. I then sanded them with a fine grit sandpaper to distress them a little. I like to use Howards Furniture was and conditioner on projects like these (Home Depot) because it smells like oranges and it’s just to make a nice finish. It isn’t there to protect it like a wax protects painted furniture (I use finishing paste for furniture). I then used metal thumb tacks to place the binder clips on the wood. I could have used tiny nails but the thumb tacks were better for keeping the binder clips on the wood.

I’ve never printed our Halloween pictures but now I think I will. Until I do, I just did a little photo editing to the above picture. I showed it to my oldest and he was so excited to see last year’s costumes again! We like to dress up our family in a theme of costumes each year and I can’t wait for this year’s!

There are so many fun projects you can do with left over craft supplies. Last year I made these Boo Blocks. Now, I didn’t make them from left over pieces but you might be able to.

I also made this fun orange ombre picture frame at the same time. You can get all the details on my blog here.
