diy polka dot picture frame matting

hey there!
so i have a quick and easy diy for you today.

i picked up the picture frame below from ikea.

i thought it was the perfect picture for my latest etsy purchase, but i thought it needed some sort of pizazz to make it a little more fun.

 i love polka dots.

 polka dots are so fun.

i got some q-tips and black paint and just started randomly making my own polka dots on the mat that came with the frame. i didn't follow any rules as far as placement and i didn't worry about them all coming out completely black.

 in fact i kind of like the faded dots.

 it took all of five minutes. 

a perfect little diy while the littles finished up their dinner.
