{Beadboard} Photo Display Tutorial

Just in case you missed it... here is my tutorial for making these FuN beadboard photo displays that I posted here:

{DIY} Beadboard Photo Display

First I cut a piece of beadboard to the size that you want. {mine was 9 1/2" x 10" ...and I used a 4 x 6 photo} 

Then... trace your photo on the foam board {that I bought at the dollar store}...

Then cut out with exact-o knife...

Then I used  spray adhesive...and sprayed my  foam board with a good even coat...and stuck my photo on...

Then on the beadboard I painted on stain over the whole board...then wiped most of it off except for in the cracks...

Then stuck the foam board to the beadboard with E-6000 adhesive...
and tied a piece of netting around the bottom.

And there ya have it!!  A super easy inexpensive gift for any parent or grandparent on your list!

***CLOSED***

I am sooo excited to introduce you to my newest sponsor...

 A little about Diana:

"I'm a 29 year old mother of two. I love everything about fabrics. The colors, the prints, the smells...

I love sewing and owe my mother for everything I know. She 'made' me learn when I was young and I learned to love it as I grew.

I also LOVE breakfast. I could eat any kind of breakfast food for every meal of the day and be just fine."

Here is a small sample of the many FaBuLouS fabrics she has to offer:
