I spent yesterday afternoon on this project, a piece of sheet music I had in my stash for probably 30 years. The colors are perfect for my home decor: green and orange, brown and black. I started with the wooden piece that is recessed in the middle to form a frame. After staining it brown, I applied the piece of music with ModPodge, then ironed out the wrinkles (but some came back unfortunately). Then applied another layer of ModPodge on the top to protect it.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">I knew I would have to add something inside the frame to hide the wood because the music was a bit smaller than the inside of the wooden frame. I added a cream colored twill tape that was wide enough to hide the wood. Then I added a thin lace piece inside the twill to accent the white colors in the pillars. I used Aleene's tacky glue for the lace. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsiVufQWozrGsfxsWNvYX7aKktBvheeTGcIz-dhWfqYtgL0mTNd0s3OzdorOVqtDQDhMGnNQ_RcuD9zLnXHAFDcIgPIjWfikOKthILbSASYUx5H7hUkv2geRnsUItQaLl7y56LGO3TY2D3fw_Xu1onj57BqDN-oreH6TclhNr5O8lLwpXbItTITJ7tCQ/s4000/ACS_1925.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsiVufQWozrGsfxsWNvYX7aKktBvheeTGcIz-dhWfqYtgL0mTNd0s3OzdorOVqtDQDhMGnNQ_RcuD9zLnXHAFDcIgPIjWfikOKthILbSASYUx5H7hUkv2geRnsUItQaLl7y56LGO3TY2D3fw_Xu1onj57BqDN-oreH6TclhNr5O8lLwpXbItTITJ7tCQ/w300-h400/ACS_1925.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: justify;">At this point, I thought the project was a fail. I didn't like it. Some of my projects I like, some not so much. But that's okay because I use mostly Dollar Tree products so the waste isn't so expensive. I thought what is wrong with this? Then I found that the frame needed to be a lighter color, so I tested my 4 white paints to see which one matched the best, and Cashew, by Waverly was chosen. After I let it dry for awhile, I sanded the edges, then highlighted the edges with an ink pad. I originally thought it would need something to finish the inside corners, but I liked the primitive look of the trim edges as "they are not perfect". This wasn't a fail after all, and I just love it!</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The creative process is very therapeutic for me. It relieves stress and provides satisfaction while doing something that I love. I have been watching Facebook and YouTube creators and they have inspired me beyond measure. There is such a nice community on the web.</p><a href="http://www. http://www.pattyantle.com/" target="_blank"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNOwUNG-_0G2jhZ8pWIG1OyYXwXgy37QFifiTsvP5t3lTXGqs5FdMMnoV9IlZDukceK1bQMUIBwog_lsl_ayQyFT4kIQy_1tNCbBfERT1EVyEBz_wAzan7ltq_u1HF8bnAgluKwbzJsZRV/s1600/8AEBA05AE19D2AE3D45BA98374AF4F31.png" style="background: transparent; border: 0px;" /></a>
