CHICKEN WALL DECOR IDEA: INSTANT WALL ART WITH FRAMED PLACEMATS

I have three of the four framed placemats to share with you. And today is Thrift Store Decor Day so it's going to be fun.

I bought the oval wood frame at my favorite junk shop. It's a bit dinged up but that just adds character.

The first thing I did was clean the frame and man was it filthy. I finally quit scrubbing and just grabbed my favorite color spray paint, Rustoleum Heirloom White. Then I distressed the paint by hand using 220-grit flexible sandpaper.

The oval frame did not come with a mirror or backing so I cut a heavy piece of cardboard the size of the opening in the back. I trimmed the placemat small enough to wrap around the cardboard then duck-taped the placemat in place.

And it turned out beautifully if I do say so myself.
