DIY Painted Decorative Ruler Frame

Lately I’ve been sharing quite a few “back to school” crafts and gift ideas on the Glued To My Crafts blog. Sadly, today’s post is going to be the last of the “theme” {till next year that is!}

But no worries because I left the best for last. Least in my opinion anyways!

This Decorative Ruler Frame craft is super simple to put together – even for a beginner.

It’s perfect as a gift for a teacher OR to frame your child’s school picture in it. You can also include one of the FREE back to school printables I shared on the blog last week, in the frame.

Whatever you decide to do with it – I hope you enjoy making it and showing it off! Now keep scrolling for the FULL tutorial below!

Happy crafting, my friends! Please don’t forget to share pictures of your finished painter ruler frame with us on our Facebook page to admire from afar! #gluedtomycrafts
