DIY Fall Picture Frame Art Display

Greetings, lovely people! I hope you're all doing great. I'm thrilled to present to you a fantastic autumn-inspired picture frame art display that's easy to make. With just a handful of materials, we'll be painting, incorporating faux sunflowers, and any other fall-themed embellishments of your liking. Are you eager to create something new? Then, without further ado, let's get started!

DIY Fall Picture Frame Art Display

Craft materials such as paint, twine, paper flowers and picture frame on a table

Materials that you'll need

One frame- Any size will do.
My frame is 4 in x 6 in
Paintbrush
Faux sunflowers-I'm using the paper craft sunflowers from Dollar Tree
Acrylic paint -I'm using Waverly chalk paint yellow, and I decided to use brown acrylic paint
-You can use any paint of your choice
Twine or craft rope
Floral cutters
Scissors
Craft pipe cleaners- I'm using one in this craft
Hot glue or any other adhesive of your choice

Applying paint to the picture frame

Paint, paintbrush and picture frame on a table

To begin, carefully remove the stock paper from inside the frame and set it aside for later use. Then, using a paintbrush, apply paint to the frame to achieve your desired look.

I enhanced my yellow paint by delicately brushing a few thin lines with my paintbrush.

Adding twine to the picture frame

For optimal results, secure your twine with hot glue after applying your paint. Begin at the top of the frame and work your way around the inner section, attaching the twine as you go.

Twine being applied to yellow frame

To secure your twine, trim the end with scissors and then apply a dab of hot glue to hold it down firmly in place.

Adding sunflower embellishments and truck decoration

Hand hold paper yellow sunflower to yellow frame near a bundle of twine

To enhance the look of your frame, select a sunflower embellishment and securely attach it to one of its corners using hot glue.

Hand holding red truck decoration to bottom section of yellow painted frame

To create a fall-themed frame, simply use hot glue to attach your favorite embellishments to the bottom. I chose a mini red truck decoration that I found in the clearance section at Michael's. It adds the perfect touch to the overall look.

Reinserting stock paper into the frame

Hand holding inner paper

Don't forget the stock paper we removed earlier in this craft. Now is the perfect opportunity to insert it back into the inner section of your frame. Alternatively, you can use decorative stock paper cut to fit. For my project, I chose to reuse the same stock paper by flipping it over.


Cutting pipe cleaners and adding to the frame

Floral cutters and pipe cleaner near yellow painted frame

To create the stem for your sunflowers, use floral or wire cutters to trim your pipe cleaners. Determine the desired height of your sunflowers for your picture frame display and cut the pipe cleaners accordingly.


Attaching pipe cleaners using adhesive

For best results, use hot glue or any other adhesive for attaching your pipe cleaners to the interior of your frame.

Attaching paper flowers to pipe cleaners

Hand holding pipe paper flower over one pipe cleaner

It's time to attach your sunflowers to the stems you had glued down earlier.

Simply attach a strand of twine to the back of your frame using hot glue after attaching your sunflowers to easily hang your art display.

Congratulations, you have finished! As a final touch, I've included a twine bow at the opposite corner of my sunflower.

      Dee, thank you! I recently ran out of ideas, and I really had to step back and think about what I was going to create, haha. Sadly, It does happen. But it didn't take long before I knew what to create. Thank you so much for pinning my craft. :)

    Using the pipe cleaners was a wonderful idea Stephanie! I would not have thought of that one. I love using items from Dollar Tree. We do not have a Michael's close to where I live, only Hobby Lobby. Gosh, it has been years since I set foot inside the store. Maybe I should check out what they have these days. Although, I am trying to use up what I have around here before I think about new. You always have so many wonderful ideas.

      Cara, aw thank you. Yes, I keep pipe cleaners around because of my girls.-- They love using them to create things. I've been trying to reuse items in my craft room. I looked in there the other day and was amazed at how much was in there, haha.

Succulent Centerpiece using Dollar Tree Items

Looking to add some greenery to your space?  Hello everyone! Today, we’re going to create a quick and simple succulent display using a round baking pan from Dollar Tree. I completed this craft a while ago, but forgot to share it with you. It's an easy project, and all the materials—except for the spray paint—were purchased at Dollar Tree. You can make this lovely decoration in just 10 minutes. Let’s get started on this succulent decoration together! Materials -One baking pan -Spray paint -Stones/rocks -Crushed glass -Artificial succulents -One glass candle holder Start by applying spray paint to the baking pan. I had a bronze color from a previous project, and it would be a great opportunity to use it again. When applying spray paint, make sure to cover the surrounding area and ensure that the space is well-ventilated.  Once you have painted the pan, allow the paint to dry. I used a heating tool to speed up the drying process, but if you prefer, you can let it air dry, which m...

Lately: Things That Have Made My Heart Happy

Lately, I’ve been holding onto the small things—the gentle, unexpected moments that slip in between the busy ones and remind me how much beauty there is in simply being here, together. We’re almost stepping into April, and even though this month has brought its share of mishaps and little detours, it has also offered us so many soft, shining memories. The kind that settle in quietly and stay. These are the moments that have made my heart happy… Welcoming Spring With Fresh Flowers One morning at the market, I picked up a small bundle of spring flowers—nothing extravagant, just simple blooms in soft colors that felt like a whisper of the season ahead. Bringing them home and placing them on the table instantly brightened the whole space. It felt like inviting spring inside, letting a little bit of newness and hope settle into our everyday rhythm. Sunsets That Slow the World Down Evening after evening, the sky has been putting on a show—warm gold melting into rose, fading into deep violet....
