Want to make your own Crafty Frames? Here is what you will need:
-Wooden frames ($1 each at Micheal's)
-Scrapbook paper
-Pen
-Scissors
-Mod Podge
-Paint Brush
-Embellishments (buttons, trim, ric rac, flowers etc)
First, trace the frame on the back of a piece of scrapbook paper. Then cut it out. Don't forget to cut out the center too.
Then paint on a thin layer of Mod Podge to the front of the frame. Place the scrapbook paper on the wet Mod Podge. Then press and smooth out the paper.
Now comes the fun part, add the embellishments! Small items can be attached using Mod Podge, you might want to use hot glue for the larger items.
Afton was so proud of her frame :) She used some scrap paper to write a sweet note to her teacher. Such sweet handwriting- I love her spelling of 'best'!

The frames were so fun and easy. I am going to share it with my MOPS group next week- I can't wait for all 60 of my MOPS friends to make their own frames too.

ReplyDeleteso cute! I was seriously just looking for something that said home is where your mom is!
ReplyDeleteI love that "home is where your mom is" phrase...I was thinking of embroidering it onto some towels for mom's day.

Both frames look adorable! I always look at these wooden frames but I never buy them . . . now I know how great they look with a little scrapbook paper magic.
