Chevron patterned items seem to be everywhere these days. I pinned a frame, as well as a couple of tutorials on how to paint a chevron pattern. So here is today's project...
The original pin came from here. She up-cycled a mirror and turned it into a frame. I figured I could easily paint a $1 frame from Michael's to make the same type frame.
I measured my frame, divided by 3 the best I could and made a pattern to use out of card stock.
Since my frame is on the small side, I figured it would take me as long to tape it off as it would to just paint slow & steady. I painted a base coat first. That will be the background color. Then drew my chevron stripes.
Painted red stripes, let it dry then roughed it all up with sandpaper.
I painted the letter "H" using the same red as the stripes. Michael's & Hobby Lobby have several letter choices. I bought a chipboard letter. You can rough the edges up just like a wooden letter.
Glued the letter to the front using Tacky Glue, added a super cute picture of the kiddos & it was done!!
Easy project and now we have something with a Chevron pattern in our home.
