Scrapbook Paper Frame

I really liked this idea because you could pick a really fun paper that matched your wall color.

I have light sage green walls so I picked a fun paper with a green and blue pattern with a neutral background.

I started by tracing the frame on paper and cutting it out. I then painted the wood frame with brown acrylic paint.

I used Mod Podge to attach the paper to the frame and I also applied a thin layer over the paper.

On the Pinterest version they used two frames and stacked them. I did not have a small enough frame to stack on top so I used a small photo mat and covered it with another piece of scrapbook paper. The type of paper I chose was two sided and has complementary patterns purposely so you can use them together. Even though I did not have a small interesting frame like the Pinterest version the contrasting paper creates the same effect.
