Polka Dot Frame

Previously posted at Brookie Craft

Have you seen these mirrors at Ikea?  They are $1.99.  Can’t beat that, right?  I bought a few, decorated one, and added it to my Valentine decor.
I started out by cutting polka dots out of vinyl using Cricut – craft room.  I removed all the dots and used the leftover vinyl as my pattern.  Then I wrapped it around my frame.

I painted my frame with tole paint.  *This pic doesn’t show the the edges painted - I went back and painted them because it looked a little unfinished.

When the paint dried I pulled off the vinyl and then sanded the whole frame to give it an aged look.

Now think of the other shapes and designs you could do!  If you wanted you could remove the mirror and make it a picture frame.
