,This is the post I did for Roberts Crafts on their blog. In case you didn't see it (but really just so I can add it to my archives) here it is!
You will need an unfinished wood frame, spray adhesive, scrapbook paper, foam brush, paint or water-based stain, scissors, and an X-acto knife (razor blade cutting tool).

So cute! I love using scrap book paper for everything! The distressed look is fabulous! I am in the middle of a scrap book paper distressed project and I ended up using a very fine sand paper to sand my scrap book paper because it looked way too new. Turned out nice. Thanks for sharing the frame tutorial. I'll have to try it with the extra paper I bought.

Saw a pin on pinterest where they used old maps instead of scrapbook paper - good for those travel photos!
