I've always wanted a BIG family picture.
This year for Christmas my talented Sister in Law Alexia (who is a photographer)
made that wish come true!
made that wish come true!
The prized picture needed a worthy frame, so...
of course off to the Good Will I went!
of course off to the Good Will I went!
Our picture is 20X30 and I wanted it to have a big dramatic frame.
This lovely goose painting was in just the right size frame! About 3ft x 4ft.
I also picked up another frame that fit our family pic perfectly.
So bye bye geese, bye bye funky golf print from the other frame.Hello black spray paint!
I also picked up one of those cutsie wood embellishments from Lowe's and painted it black too.
I cut a piece of 1/8" hard board (or masonite) to fit the large frame. I covered it with burlap, using spray glue to adhere it.The burlap in this picture looks wavy...but it's not. (That's why I leave the photography skills up to my Sister in Law.)
Now time to assemble it. I stapled the burlap covered hardboard into the large frame, and placed our family picture into the smaller frame. I mounted the smaller frame right smack in the middle of the burlap board. (Glued it on with a lot of epoxy.) I also attatched the cutsie black embellishment with epoxy. And it was done!
Hanging it was the hardest part. It is so HUGE and HEAVY! And of course I wanted it to go way up high. So I accepted defeat and asked for the help of a super tall person with a gigantic wing span.
I love it! Thanks Lex, I will treasure it always!
Beautiful job. I never would have thought about using two separate frames this way. It is gorgeous hanging there.

Using the burlap for a mat-like effect was so creative! Oh, and smart too... especially with the costs of custom matting!

This looks so great. I have a huge picture I need to get framed but I haven't found any that size that I like. I might just have to make my own but if it turns out like this I would be fine with it. Thanks for sharing.
