How to Use Repurposed Frames to Make an Easter Basket
I was bound and determined to find a use for these frames that were leftover from my daughter's wedding.
First I removed the backings and the glass from the frames then glued and nailed the frames together in a square.

Before I was finished I also removed the points that held the glass into the frames then I cut a thin piece of plywood and nailed it to the bottom of the box.
I added candle cups to use as feet and attached them to the bottom using E6000 glue. Then the next step was to paint the box.
I used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in Provence, then distressed the edges of the frames when it was dry I used a spray sealer to seal the chalky paint.
The next step was to add a handle, I had a broken willow handle leftover from another basket project. I wrapped jute around the ends of the handle then attached it to the box with hot glue and nails.
I attached a gingham bow and a few speckled egg picks to the sides of the handle then filled the box with Easter goodies.
A fun Easter basket that I created as I went.
I'm glad I saved those frames for so long!
