Did you know the word "Love" is stuck to one of the pieces of glass, but if you run it under hot water, it comes right off- no scrubbing necessary?!?
So, I decided to paint the frame black.
Then I used my cricut to cut out some address numbers. I used some adhesive paper so that it acted like stickers. I also used the cricut mat to help me place the numbers onto one of the pieces of glass.
Put it back in the frame and you have a nice housewarming gift, or a Mother's Day gift, etc.

I love it! I saw those frames at the Dollar Tree the other day and wasn't sure what I could do with it. I might have to go back and get some of them now. Thanks for the idea! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Courtney, I love your creative idea. The Dollar Tree is going to be swamped with shoppers looking for this frame after seeing your post. I recently did a post on tin flower pots that I used for my street numbers, you can view it here is you wish:

ReplyDeleteThat is so much fun. I want to do some stuff like that. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWow...great idea! Thanks for sharing...glad I stopped by! Your blog is great!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! I don't know what a "cricut" is but whatever it is it worked and you made a great address plaque!
ReplyDeleteI'd love it if you'd drop by for a visit sometime.

I so luv this idea...looks outstanding! Thanks for coming to my NTT party!

Great idea! If I had a covered front door area, I'd definitely consider doing this {although I'd have to order vinyl ~ no cricut}.
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Great idea about using the cricut mat to line up your numbers. I always just eyeball mine and hope for the best!
ReplyDeleteWow! This is absolutely darling! I love it! Just think of all of the other wonderful things you could make using this as an inspiration! Good for you!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!

I am so glad that you linked this. I was admiring it earlier at another party and just thought it was perfect! What a clever project. You are so creative. I love it when someone looks at one thing (as you did at the dollar store) and sees far greater potential. Excellent!!! Perfect bragable. Thank you for linking up!
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome project! Woo Hoo! It looks like a million bucks, not a dollar tree frame. I love those kinds of projects. Thanks for linking to Woo Hoo! Wednesday and joining the fun.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea, it would make an ideal housewarming gift. It might work to stencil numbers on the glass, for those who don't have a way to cut them out of vinyl.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Simple, but very sharp!
ReplyDeleteJan LaFollette, Great idea on the stenciling! I was also thinking if someone found cute stickers too!
ReplyDeleteVery creative!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea and very cute!
ReplyDeleteI love it! Happy Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteI really like this! I will have to figure out how to make it without a Cricket!!!! Saw your post on the Power of Paint!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea!! I have a feeling I will be doing something like this. Thank you for sharing!
ReplyDeletelooks great!
ReplyDeleteI'm not surprised the word came off so easily, considering it's from the Tree. ha ha
ReplyDeleteThis is a really great idea. I'll have to check my local store to see if they have these. And I REALLY need a Cricut!!
Great idea.....I think I'll swing by the Dollar Tree today!
ReplyDeletevery cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining Get Your Craft on Thursday at Life As Lori. Please join me next week for another great party.
This is an awesome idea! I picked up a few of these after opening one at Dollar Tree and finding out that "Family" would scratch cff! Thanks for the hot water idea and I good way to use them!
ReplyDeleteSharon
Great job! I love it! :)
ReplyDeleteI love that, it looks so chic!
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome!
ReplyDeleteI think I need to get myself to Dollar Tree asap!
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with it!!!
I'm going to have to fire up my daughter's Cricut! How cute.
ReplyDeleteWarm blessings,

What a great way to display numbers. I just passed the frames at the dollar store yesterday wondering what I could do with them. Now I know! Thx for the wonderful ideas, as always!
ReplyDeletethat's a great idea! Oh the possibilities!
ReplyDeleteKathy
I really like this. It would look great hanging from chains on the porch. Thanks so much for linking up to my under $100 party!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I love that you look something totally cheezy and turned it into something so stylish!
ReplyDelete-Arielle
How fun and such a nice project on the cheap, too! Great idea...
ReplyDelete:-) Sue
I really like this idea! I prefer the black frame as well. This would make great gifts! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteCreative idea! If you are hanging it out side you might want to make reverse letters (mirror image) so you can stick them on the back of the glass.
ReplyDeleteI have a graftec robo cutter (similar to a wishblade) and must made mirror image (backwards) letters for the first time for a window.
Kathy
OHHHH love that frame! BUT no cricut here however I MIGHT be able to find another idea for that dollar store frame! THANKS FOR SHARING!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a neat idea. I just got a Cricut... hmmm... where did you get that adhesive paper?
ReplyDeleteBtw, we have the same background :)
Hi Pati!
ReplyDeleteI got the paper from JoAnn's. They sell adhesive paper stacks by the scrapbooking paper.
So cute! I love it! Man, I realllly need a cricut! ;) Thanks for sharing!

ReplyDeleteI love this! Thank you!

Black and white is a classic color scheme for a house number plaque, but consider the colors in your home's exterior. Perhaps your house number plaque would look better in blue on white, yellow on black, or even something a little wild like orange on blue. You can use your house number plaque to show the colors of a favorite sports team, coordinate with your garden, or match your car.
