{DIY Day and Diamond Plated Frames}

Since it's DIY day over at A Soft Place to Land, I thought I would show you how I made Braeden's diamond plated frames. They were super easy to make, so I thought I would share.

First I got a diamond plate stickers (Rocker Panel Kits) from Auto Zone or any car part store should carry them. To make 5 frames, I needed 3 kits.



Since Braeden's room had a vintage feel to it, I blew up pictures of Ryan's old truck.

I also went to Hobby Lobby and grabbed some frame mats. It doesn't matter what color you choose, because you will be covering all of the mat. You just have to make sure you get a big enough size to go over your picture.



.....

Getting started ... I first took the frame mat and taped the picture to the back, making sure it was centered. I then cut out the diamond plated sticker in the lenghts of the mat. I made sure to cute each side at an angle, so they met at a diagonal on the corners. Cut off the excess panel.

All you have to do now is peel the back of the diamond plate and press on your frame mat. When you have done that, there is a clear film over the top of the diamond plate you take off, hang and wha la .... beautiful diamond platted frames ... perfect for boy rooms!
