Hey guys! I shared this post over at Sweet Haute a few days ago, but here it is for any of you who missed it!
I love finding ways to incorporate the seasons into our home! For me, the perfect seasonal decor is both affordable and easy to store. Bonus points if it uses things that I already own, especially objects that can be transitioned from one season to another.
Today's project is a winner on all fronts.
Love when that happens!
I started by giving the gilded treatment to some sand dollars that I had on hand (I picked them up on summer clearance last fall, certain that I would one day have a use for them).
I pretty much find a way to paint everything in our house gold. I'm a modern day King Midas.
I decided to use the golden sand dollars to fill some of the picture frames that we have around the house. I love swapping photos for seasonal inserts, because it is just so easy to put things back to 'normal' once the time for seasonal decor has passed, and it leaves me with very little to store.
To create these fun frames, I started by removing the photos and the glass from the frames. Then, I simply cut a sheet of white paper to fit and used spray adhesive to attach a piece of burlap that was also cut to fit each frame. I put the sheet of burlap into the frame, secured it by replacing the back, and attached a golden sand dollar to the center of the burlap using hot glue.
Incredibly simple, but oh so cute!
I had a few leftover seashells, so I glued them to a piece of pre-stained scrap wood that I had on hand. I think it makes a nice compliment to the sand dollar frames! Also, once summer is over, it will pair nicely with the wooden pallet sign that I shared with you guys a few months ago, which will be a nice little reminder of summer once the air turns brisk and the leaves begin to fall...
Ah.....fall. Love that season too!
