newspaper roses frame


Remember the newspaper roses that I was making?
Well, I was going to make them to frame 3 mirrors in my bedroom.
But, when I started placing the roses on the mirrors the other night I QUICKLY realized that the project just wasn't going to look like I had envisioned. 
There is so much character to the roses that putting 3 mirrors next to one another, framed in newspaper roses was just going to be too busy and too much! So, I will figure out what to do with the 3 mirrors another day!

Today I made a newspaper roses frame for my sweetie-girls room.
I LOVE HOW IT TURNED OUT!
(yes, I yelled that! that is how in love with this piece I am!!)

How did I make this?

I started by making a bunch of newspaper roses - in varying sizes - by following this tutorial from Michele Made Me's awesome blog!!

Then I took apart this picture and threw everything but the frame away...

The bare frame...

I hot glued the roses randomly to the frame, 
just like Michele did to her frame...

And it came out like this!!!...

I love this beautiful newspaper roses frame!
Thank you Michele for the awesome inspiration!!!!!!!!!
My daughter's wall never looked lovelier!!!




ps...
Want to know where the party's at?

  16. I haven't seen newspaper roses before and they are so lovely. I can see why 3 mirrors together may have been a bit much though. Thanks so much for sharing on Tout It Tuesday! Hope to see you next week.
