I lucked out when I was at Hobby Lobby one day and found some duct tape that I liked in the clearance section.
This is the frame that I envisioned for the transformation. I don't even remember where I got it, but the ridges and burlap where not something I wanted to attempt painting. I figured I would give the duct tape a try. The tape was not wide enough to cover completely so I decided to keep part of the wood of the frame visible and started with the green plaid burlap.
Then to add more interest I tried to figure out what else I could do and I decided on the brown plaid duct tape at an angle on the edges. I love how it all looks as a whole.
The frame had no glass, so I plan to cut out a piece of thin wood to paint on this saying and hanging it somewhere where I can see it every day.

Blessings,
Lucy.
