family picture

I got this big 2x3 picture at Goodwill

last year to hang over my church pew.

It was $13.

I liked it at the time and it filled an empty space.

Mark built me a shelf for this spot so I moved it over the love seat.

Here 's the only picture I could find of it over the love seat.

It was fine. But it was ....well, kinda.,,,ugly.

It's the one I was talking about tearing up and making a chalkboard.

I thought of something better.

I read on a post how she made a large family picture for only $8.

I took my black and white photo to Staples had it printed on a 2x3 regular paper,

not photo paper, and it was only .......$3.27!!

I took the oil painting out of the frame.

Painted the frame black with paint I already had and stuck the photo on with glue dots.

Put it back in the frame and now I have this...

It turned out really, really great!!

I love it.

It looks beautiful right there.

Long story .....short.

I will definitely be doing this again.

Here's some tips:

You have to print in black and white.

Color would have cost me $40.

Also gluing the paper photo on will make it wrinkle.

You have to use a good camera to take the picture with.

My is not pix elated at all, but it was taken with a friend's fancy camera.

Be on the lookout for big, chunky frames.
