DIY Lemon Layered Frame

Sometimes it’s the simplest crafts that pack the biggest punch, and that’s exactly the case with this DIY Lemon Layered Frame! Lemons are all the rage this summer, and I’m totally jumping on the bandwagon with a week full of fun, easy, and budget friendly DIY Lemon ideas.

This super cute Layered Lemon Frame was day 3 of our 5 day Lunchtime Live Lemon challenge. Each project was done live over on Facebook on my lunch break in under 30 minutes, and was super quick, easy, fun and CUTE! So at the end of the week we had 5 adorable Lemon crafts, all of which you could use to decorate your tiered tray this summer. One of you guys described it best…The Lemon-Athon!

How to Make a DIY Dollar Tree Layered Frame

I made this Dollar Tree Layered Lemon Frame on video, so you can WATCH the step by step tutorial HERE or right below.

This one is so easy to make that it almost doesn’t even deserve a “tutorial”! But I’ll give ya the run down anyway because I wouldn’t want anything stopping you from whipping up one of these Lemon Layered Frames for yourself!

First were just gonna cut the piece of lemon fabric the size of your black frame and stick it in there. Remember, this doesn’t have to be lemon to be cute! You could do this for any season or Holiday, I’m thinking Patriotic next?!

Now paint your wooden pallet board all white, and then once its dried, glue that framed lemon right there front and center. You may want to leave a tad bit more room at the top for your bow, but that just depends how big your frame and board are.

Now for the Scrap Ribbon Bow. To make this bad boy just cut a whole bunch of coordinating ribbon and fabric into 5″-6″ strips. The more variety in size and texture, the more fabulous and messy the bow! That’s how I gave it the name “Scrap Ribbon Bow”, because when I stumbled upon this bow I just used a bunch of pieces of scraps from my stash.

Layer the strips of ribbon on top of each other in an “X” formation, in no particular order or pattern. Tie a piece of string around the center as tight as possible, or if you have a zip tie, that’s even better!
