How To Make A
Scrapbook Picture Frame With Scrapebook
Paper
What you will need for this project.
A picture frame that you can
get at your craft store
Your choice of scrapbook
paper
Tacky glue
Wood alphabet letters
Flowers of your choice
(either dried or silk)
With the
scrapbook paper of your choice, lay
your picture frame face down on the back of the
paper. Trace around the outside and inside
of the frame onto the paper. Carefully cut on
the lines. Once you have cut the paper out make
sure that it fits the frame. There is nothing
worse that gluing the paper on and then you see
that it doesn’t quite fit (I have done that). Always make sure that it fits.
Apply the tacky
glue to the picture frame and then put the paper
on top. Turn it over and make sure that the
scrapbook paper is even all the way around.
Paint your
letters to match the scrapbook paper. Lay
the wood letters on the frame the way you
want them. Apply glue to the individual letters
and glue them down.
Lay out your
flowers in the design that you like. You can
use tacky glue or else glue dots. I really like
to use glue dots that you get at craft stores
(they are very inexpensive and easy to use). On
the picture above I used fabric flowers and
then small gems in the middle of them.
There are so many
different scrapbook papers that you can use. You
can get just about any subject that you want.
Have fun playing around with the different
papers and see what you can come up with.
If you have any
questions or arts and crafts ideas please
contact me and I will add it to my site.
