Hi everyone, Julie TW here with you today and I wanted to share a fun way to alter some frames I found at the dollar store! Here are the frames I started with...
Next, I tore one of the frames apart so I could trace my papers to fit the frames....
The papers I used are from Prima's new line, "Sweet Fairy"...
Tracing on the papers for the outlines of the frames...
Next, I made sure the papers lined up for the frames...
I used Mod Podge to glue the papers down to the frames...
I also added a layer of Mod Podge to the top of the papers to protect them...
Then I painted the edges of the frames with my Claudine Helmuth's Studio Paint...
I also painted the edges of the papers to add some texture....
Next, I took the paper that comes with the frame to use to trace for the inside of the frames...
Some of the embellishments I used from Prima and Maya Road...
I used Tim Holtz's Distress Ink to add color to the Maya Road chipboard pieces...
Now to put it all together!
And now for my finished projects! I made a total of four frames, using three pieces of paper, four Maya Road chipboard pieces and two Prima flowers!
Such a fun project to make! I am going to place these in my new home on my new craft desk! Thanks for stopping by today, I really appreciate it!
