DIY Coastal Beach Style Photo Frames

I love decorating my home in the beach cottage and coastal styles. While I like some nautical items…I am really drawn more to the simple coastal & beach style.

Last month I ran into a bargain sale and picked up 4 of these Frugal Finds. These wooden photo frames had some slight damage to them (small blue marks on the white painted areas) and were marked down from $12.99 to $1.99 each! Needless to say, I bought all 4 of them!

To remove those little blue marks I simply used a white chalk ink paint pen. It was the exact shade of white that I needed and I applied it over the top of the little blue marks and they were instantly gone! I love those chalk ink pens which come in a wide variety of colors and they dry within 10 seconds once applied.

At the same store I picked up a bag of 6 ceramic but realistic starfish that were on clearance for $2.99 for the entire bag. They are in perfect condition and the perfect size I needed to accent the photo frame. I simply used my Aleene’s Tacky Glue and glued one onto the bottom corner of the photo frame and left it dry overnight.

These coastal style picture frames are really a nice quality. They are made out of genuine wood and have glass fronts. There is an easel on the back and also a saw-tooth hanger so they can be hung. I removed the easel on this one and going to hang it up in my one guest bedroom on the wall.

For around $2.75 (including tax) I made a coastal style photo frame that I just love!

Well…there you have it! My Frugal Find and DIY Craft Project for this week!
