Today's project is from Kay Rogers. She has recycled an old, unattractive frame into this beautiful faux tile frame. Isn't it lovely? See how she created it below.
1. Paint an old frame with acrylic paint and let dry.
2. Ink the edges of the frame when paint is dry.
3. Cut 1 inch squares to cover your frame. Ink the edges with dark brown chalk ink.
4. Glue the squares onto the frame, then cover with a few coats of Mod Podge.
Supplies:
Vintage Valentine patterned paper
Chipboard
With Love Posies
All Fall buttons
flower
tan acrylic paint
brown chalk ink pad
Modge Podge

I am just taking an educated guess, but it looks like the flue down lower would take a 36x15 Chimney Balloon. Measure the area where the green arrows are in my picture and give us a call and we will get you a Chimney Balloon that is easier to install for this application.
