1.Get an old frame from a thrift store. Just choose a size you like.
2. Take out the glass and picture and backing. Clean everything really well.
3. While you could easily spray paint the frame any color you choose, we painted because we had the paint we wanted to use. Craft paint dries really fast. Because the frame was a dark green we first painted the frame a pale pink as a primer. Then we painted over that two coats of a darker pink.
Just paint your frame until you are happy with the way it looks, then let it dry completely.
My daughter did almost everything on this project in an afternoon. Super easy, super fast project.
4. Choose a fabric that you like, that matches your frame. Cut it the same size as the glass. We ironed ours so that no wrinkles would show.
5. Replace the glass in the frame, then the fabric and put it all back together. Use dry erase markers on the glass.

G was just telling me today that she wants to do more crafts with me. Maybe this is the one!
