Looking for a way to spruce up your child's room? Well, try creating these Mod Podge fabric frames. These frames are cute and easy to make. What caught my eye about these frames was the antique look they had. Using one of Plaid’s newest Mod Podge formulas, Antique Mod Podge, helped create this look on the frames.
