Old Window Turned Picture Frame!

Hey, Everyone!!  I hope you are all having an amazing day so far!

Ready for one of my latest projects? 

I have had this old window that I got from my grandparents farm for about 4 years now.  I FINALLY decided what I was going to do with it!  We had some family pictures taken about a year ago & I wasn't sure how I was going to display them, because they were different sizes. So here is what I did....


I arranged the pictures on the top of the window the way I wanted them. Then found some gorgeous scrapbook paper that looked like vintage sheet music & french handwriting.

 
I cut & pieced the papers together to put behind the pictures. Then taped all the paper together on the backside, so it didn't show through. 
 
 
I used clear photo corners to attach the pictures to the paper.  Then I put clear scrap booking dots on all 4 corners to attach the entire thing to the glass.  There was some paint on the glass around the edges so the dots aren't noticeable.
The saying on the bottom is a sticker I got from the Dollar Tree.  They are removable & re-usable.  So easy & inexpensive.  There you go!  I absolutely LOVE it! It makes it even more special that the window is a family heirloom of sorts. 


  I have a Dollar Tree project I am working on.  I am just missing one key piece.  I am so excited about making it & sharing it with everyone,  They would make excellent Christmas gifts.  I will post the project soon.
