Tutorial Tuesday: Bean Frames

I know... I laughed too when I read the name of this project.  Something about "Bean Frames" automatically conjures up images of preschool art projects involving dried pasta noodles, paint, and an obscene amount of glue.
In any case... once I got past the name and clicked on the link I discovered that these Bean Frames by Martha Stewart are actually quite chic... surprisingly so.  What do you think?

PS.  I found out that I actually have the flu, so I'll be taking the rest of the day off to recuperate.  Hope to see you all here tomorrow! xox Ez

Years ago I saw this in Living and I decided to try it. I had a cheap, unfinished wood framed mirror that I painted dark blue and glued red kidney beans around it. It was a definite improvement but I was kind of embarrassed when a friend commented, "are those BEANS?". Anyway, it didn't hold up for long as my then two-year old liked to pick the beans off!
