A few years ago I bought two picture frames from a yard sale. They were unique because they were so tall (or long depending on the way you hang them). I had no idea what to do with them so they sat in my closet for a long time collecting dust.
I finally decided to paint the frames white and I spray painted the back cover black. I added a vinyl sticker that I found at Dollar Tree.
I still didn’t like it so I never hung it up. Back to the closet they went.
Last night while I was cooking dinner those frames came back into my mind. I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it!
The kitchen timer said the broccoli had 10 more minutes to roast, so I ran to the closet and pulled out one of the frames. I took the sticker off and pulled off the back and took out the glass. The timer beeped. Why do I always think I can do 20 things at once?
The broccoli burned.
My husband ate it anyway.
Now back to the frame.
I wrapped some jute string around each side and placed a wreath I made last year in the middle. (You can see how I made the wreath here.)
I’m very happy with the way it turned out! It cost me nothing because I already had everything on hand and it only took about 10 minutes to put together. I love reusing things I have around the house to create something new!
What started as a broccoli burning kind of day ended much better.

I like the art both ways! You have so many ideas. :)
(I am notorious for burning broccoli because I forget to put water under the steamer basket. I don't know why, but I only do this with broccoli...)
I understand that, for some reason, green veggies seem to be easier to burn...
I'm glad I'm not the only one! :D
Thank you! At least I'm not the only one that burns the broccoli! :D
