Song Lyrics Picture Frame

Pin It

I originally found this idea on pinterest and decided to try it out!  

For Christmas I made my husband this picture frame.  I bought a inexpensive picture frame at the Hobby Lobby for $4.  I liked the frosted picture frame because it dulled out the ink and put the focus on the picture.  I used the song lyrics to our first dance song at our wedding.  We danced to Frank Sinatra's song, The Way You Look Tonight.  

First, I printed the picture in black and white to match the frame.  Next, I took the mat out of the picture frame and wrote our lyrics on the frame using a fine tip sharpie marker.  Then I simply placed the picture back in and I was done!  It was an easy and inexpensive project.  It was very simply to make!!

This is what the project looked like after I wrote the lyrics.

Ideas you could use this project for:

1.  Gift for your husband/wife
2.  Wedding gift to a new couple
3.  Anniversary gift to parents, friends, or other family members




Modifications to this project:
1.  Write a letter to a friend, child, and family member instead of song lyrics
2.  Write a recipe of your favorite dish to make with someone and put a picture of you guys making the dish!
3.  For a birthday momento for your child, write your child's favorite things on the mat or frequent sayings.  This way you will not forget!  You can even cut out a number for the year and put in on the side. 
4.  For a teacher, write the names of the students in the class along the edge and then a class picture in the middle.  Or, why not have the students write  a message on the mat to the teacher?

Happy Simple Crafting!
