Since the frame was backless, I cut out a piece of 1/4 inch PDF board {the same wood we used on our Wainscoting here} to the same measurements of the moulding frame…7 x 23 inches.

The next day, I spray painted the frame with black Satin Krylon Spray Paint {my favorite brand of Spray Paint}. Then I centered my tiles, 3 light colored tiles and 2 darker colored tiles, inside the frame where I wanted them to sit. Then I used my Silhouette machine and cut out some black vinyl letters and some flourish designs for the sides. Make Your Own Laundry Detergent! It's Easy! Save BIG & Have Fresh, Clean Laundry!
