The Joy of Pyrex - Calendar Art

Hello Fellow Thrifters and Friends,

    My sweet sister in law gifted me this wonderful Pyrex calendar for Christmas, and I knew it needed to be displayed in an extra special manner

I bought this large poster sized picture frame at a garage sale for $1.00, and then I put to use my wonderful polka wrapping paper that I picked up at good will for $0.99.


I trimmed the wrapping paper so it was the same size as the picture frame


I used this glue runner to attach the wrapping paper to the card board behind the picture frame. 


Next I laid out the calendar, attempting to make straight rows. This served to be trickier then expected


I added a bit of ribbon for a special touch


TA DA!! Sorry the final picture came out poor, but the glair would not go away. 


I think it came out really sweet, and this wall in my kitchen needed a picture so it worked out fantastically. 



Thank you to my sweet sister in law for giving me the wonderful calendar to enjoy!

Smiles,
The Joyful Thrifter
