I just couldn’t contain myself anymore….I am just SO in the mood for some “Fall” projects!!! I had this idea floating around in my head and just couldn’t wait any longer to make it.
Wanna make a fun googly eyed Halloween frame too?
Gather your supplies:
-$1 Michael’s picture frame
-Some lime green craft paint
-Lots and lots of googly eyes
-A couple embellishments (I used ribbon and chipboard letters)
I painted the picture frame with the craft paint and started gluing the google eyes on and glued some more eyes on…..and then glued even more on. This took quite awhile!
Once all the eyes were glued on…I took a breath…and then cut “EEK” out of some chipboard with my cricut. I painted the letters the same color as the frame. I decided to attach the letters to the frame with a sparkly black piece of ribbon. Of course I didn’t have any glittery black ribbon so I just decoupaged some glitter onto some plain black ribbon.
Look at all that googly eye goodness!!!
I can’t wait to pop a picture of my kiddo’s in their Halloween costumes into the frame.
What about you, are you gearing up for Halloween yet? We’ve already bought one costume and another one has been decided on. It’s not even September yet….but I’m looking at it all as getting a jump start to the crazy busy season!!!
Linking up to these great link parties!!!
Your picture frame is too cute! And it cracks me up because I was digging through my random crafting box the other day and pulled out a bag of googly eyes! I think I might have to pull them back out and make a frame like this. Thanks for the inspiration!
that is sooo cute! i love that my kids could do it, too, though theirs might not look as good, but it would be a fun project together!
That looks great! And I actually have about 3,000 googly eyes in my basement (it was a sale about 3 years ago and I couldn’t resist). Great job!
Super cute. You could even use Mod Podge to attach all the eyes. Love the green color you picked too. Fun project!
verrrryyyyy cute!
Cute! I’m in the middle of making one of these frames for Halloween too. I’ll post in on your link up when I’m done. 🙂

I have seen this a couple of times on Pinterest…what a clever idea!
This is ADORABLE! Thank you for linking up to my All Things Spooky series! xoxo!
Any thoughts on what type of glue to use to stick on the google eyes to the wooden frame?????
I saw this on Pinterest and had to try it out myself! I posted it on my blog, I hope you will come by and check out how it turned out!
This is awesome! I made one and posted it on my blog here: http://www.mycrazybliss.com/2011/10/halloween-fun.html

Love it! Made it. I linked back to you in my post. (And messed up my last comment – here’s the link: http://maggiemugginsdesigns.blogspot.com/2011/10/googly-eye-frame.html)
I did a googly eye wreath that I linked up on the CSI Project challenge for this week too 🙂 Love your frame!
I made this frame but I can not find the lettering. What size did you use and where did you get them. The smallest lettering I found was at Michaels and it took up the whole bottom of the frame and the googlie eyes would be blocked.
I cut them out with my Cricut.
“EYE” looooove this!
I will totally make one for my sister to use with her kids Halloween photos – Mine are all grown up 🙁
Just found this on Pinterest, and was wondering what kind of glue you used? I think hot glue would melt the eyes, and Elmer’s would fall off eventually.
You did such a great job I was inspired to try my own, but Aileen’s Tacky glue did not hold the eyes. Did you use hot glue or something else? Thanks!
This is cute I love it. !
