Cute Bud Vase Using A Thrift Store Frame

- By Kaycee Geeding

Hey y’all! It’s me again with another great thrift store makeover idea! These are my absolute favorite kind of craft projects. Whether you’re a seasoned crafter or just getting started with your new hobby or maybe you just like to make something every once in a while. Either way, starting with a picture frame is a sure way to get yourself a confidence boost in the creative arena.

Here are the supplies you will need to recreate your own thrift store frame makeover.

I will link over to my fave crafting supplies on Amazon.

Time needed: 20 minutes

Paint the Frame
Begin by painting your picture frame to suit your own personal taste. I used Mineral by Waverly, which can be found at Walmart. I loved the neutrality of the grey and how it brought out all the pretty details of the frame.
Prep the Background
This is where the popsicle sticks come in to play. I figured out how many I needed to fill my 5x7 photo space, painted them white (I think they resemble shiplap) and glued them to the back of the frame.
Attach Salt Shaker
In this step you’re simply going to attach your shaker or small bottle with a combination of hot glue and e6000. This is a magical blend of adhesives that truly would last longer than the frame itself., however it beats broken glass so I think it is necessary in this case.
“Plant”
I plated my faux succulent in some Spanish moss from the Dollar Tree but now I’m thinking this would make a great bud vase with a tiny bit of water.

It’s literally that easy! With a few basic supplies and 4 easy steps you have a functional and oh-so-cute bud vase from a thrift store frame!
