Thrift Store Frames with Art Prints

My son's room has a robot theme and he really desperately needs something hanging on his poor walls! I came across this robot abc print and thought I'd seek out a thrift store frame to alter to match his room. I also got an owl abc print to match my daughter's room (and she doesn't need anything else on her walls-but I managed to fit it in somewhere anyway!)

I found these two frames at Helping Hands. The brown one was $2 and the white one was $3.
I popped out the glass & mats & sprayed them...
Watermelon & Cherry Red gloss!
I adhered the robot print to a sheet of navy blue cardstock that I cut down from a 12x12...
Then, to add just a little dimension, I used Zots glue dots to adhere the cardstock to the mat. (The inner area of the mat was too small to let the entire print to show through, so I simply put the print on top of the mat.)
Here is the final product, hung on my son's wall! I love how it turned out...
...And how well it matches his room!
Here is the BEFORE of my daughter's frame. I really scored on this one at $3 because it had this print in it that had been professionally framed and matted with non-glare glass.
After I sprayed it Watermelon, I decided to sand some of the paint off to show the detail of the lines in the frame and to hide of few small chips in the wood.
I adhered the owl print to the pink marbled mat that the frame came with...and hung it on the wall! Super cheap & easy & I love the results!
