Hey everyone! I’m so happy to be back! I was away in July, you know, just getting married and stuff, but I’m finally back from all the wedding shenanigans and here today to share another easy DIY.
Ikea frames are fantastic, they’re perfect for the budget-conscious decorator. Ikea’s frames are super affordable, and you can pretty much find a style and color that suits your tastes. There’s nothing wrong with how Ikea’s frames look, but sometimes grouping too many together can look too “Ikea”. I think you know what I mean.
There are literally thousands of ways you can customize a frame to make it more “you” and to better fit your tastes, but for today’s post, I wanted to share with you 3 ways to spruce-up your Ikea frames using household supplies you probably already have lying around!

Polka Dots!
These definitely aren’t your average polka dots. These polka dots were made using two ingredients: adhesive dots and glitter! Adhesive dots come equally spaced on a strip of tape, all you need to do is lay a long piece of the tape on the matting, apply a little pressure on each dot to make sure it’s secure, then pull off the back side of the tape to leave perfectly placed adhesive dots.
The adhesive dots are super sticky, one quick shake of glitter and you’re covered! I used a plastic container to catch the glitter.
I chose Adhesive Dots over Glue Dots because Adhesive Dots are perfectly round, Glue Dots are kinda misshapen, and I knowing how OCD I am I needed the polka dots to be perfectly round and equally spaced.
Voila!
Stripes
You will always go right with black and white, am I right? Ha! I give you permission to make fun of me now 😛 Anyway, instead of drawing or painting stripes, just grab a roll of electrical tape! First, I
grabbed an Ikea Virserum frame…
Then, some electrical tape….
and started taping off stripes. I just eyeballed the spacing of the stripes, but you can use a ruler if you don’t trust your measuring skills. But seriously, this project took like 5 minutes and looks crazy good!
Chalk it Up
Chalkboard paint isn’t just for walls! Using a little artist brush you can turn the matting from your Ikea frame into a chalky doodle board in about an hour.
You can draw a cute boarder like I did, or do something crazy like draw thought bubbles and insert captions to pictures. Literally, the creativity is yours!

Hi! I’m Brittany from the blog brittanyMakes, where I journal my adventures in DIY projects ranging from everyday home decor to handmade jewelry, from tips in photography to stories of bulldogs, and everything else in-between. I am a fierce accountant by day and a zealous DIYer by night. I spend my time balancing my love for home decor and design with the everyday responsibilities of my corporate day job. My main mission is to inspire my readers to do what they love, take risks, and above all, to exercise their creative muscles!
This is awesome, I might do all 3. We are hitting Ikea this weekend to pick up a bunch of things for nursery #2 and these would all fit the gallery wall I want to create perfectly. I've been trying to brainstorm some creative frame hacks and only thought a 2, so I will definitely be adding at least 2 more – thanks for the inspiration!!
I love the idea of using electrical tape for stripes on the mat, it looks so good! You can never go wrong with black and white!
The striped one is FANTASTIC!!! I'm definitely doing that! Great idea!
Black, white & gold – YES, please! 🙂
Seriously, I am doing the electrical tape! Brittany, Dave used to be an electrician, we have tons of it!!! Thanks for the idea! xo Kristin
My favorite post out in the bloggy world so far this week! I love, love, love simplicity … especially when the end results look so fantastic. I am doing those dots for sure (thanks for the adhesive dots tip) and maybe some stripes.
Thanks for sharing!
These are such great ideas! I just went to Ikea last weekend and I love those cheap frames!
OH wow I love the tape stripes! Almost makes it a work of art!

These are fun ideas! I have 3 of the Ribba frames and would love to spice at least one of them up!

Wow, great ideas! I love easy DIY projects like this! Now I'm just counting down the days until the Kansas City Ikea opens so I can buy some frames!
LOVE the stripes!!! And the idea of doing it with tape is so smart! Will definitely have to try that one out 🙂
What great ideas!! I have 30 or so (actually more but who's counting?) white Ikea frames waiting for future projects. I think I just found one! Thank you!
Great ideas Brittany!! I'm definitely trying these! 🙂
I'm especially loving the electrical tape stripe! I'm working on our master bedroom right now and that one is calling my name! Thanks for sharing, Brittany!
I just added stripes to 2 frames and it looks awesome! Thank you!!!
Awesome!!! Love the gold dots as well as the black & white stripes. What a wonderful idea ~ thank you!

Brittany seriously comes up with the best stuff ever. Love the sparkly dots and black and white stripes!
This is SUCH A GOOD IDEA. I've been all about re-doing my art and frame collection lately. In fact, I just posted about it yesterday actually. So I will definitely be giving these a try! Thank you for sharing!
