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.

ALL FOR $1!

love it. love it. love it.
