DIY Valentine's Day Collage Frame With Hobby Lobby Faux Scrabble Tiles
January 23, 2019
I picked up this frame at my local thrift shop today for $2.
It had never been used but had some scratches in the finish. It originally sold for $9.99.
I was in Bemidji on Monday, and stopped at Hobby Lobby.
Valentine's Day crafts were 40% off. I purchased these faux Scrabble Tiles at 40% off of $2.99.
I actually have Scrabble tiles from games too but I always run out of some of the letters, and the price was right!

My frame is an easel type collage frame.
I used Dixie Belle Chalk Finish Paint in Hurricane Gray
to paint the frame.
to paint the frame.
I brushed on two coats using one my new favorites, the Zibra 1-Inch Square Paint Brush
.
.
The square brush works well on small areas and especially on chair legs or spindles.
After the paint dried, I sanded the edges with 220 grit sandpaper.
I then sealed the paint with Dixie Belle Best Dang Wax in Clear
. I apply it with Intex Precision-fiber Paint & Cleaning Rags

I then assembled the frame with a photo of my youngest daughter and her boyfriend.
My Hobby Lobby faux scrabble tiles were sticky backed, so all I had to do was arrange them on the glass areas of the collage frame.
I think they will stay on too. The clear double stick tape on each tile was pretty strong and sticky.
This is a super easy Valentine's Day craft project!
Use your own collage frame, your own colors, and your own kids!
It's easy.
Here's another frame and real Scrabble tile project!
