How-to
Sea theme frame
Collect some shells, sand and some small pebbles from the
beach. Paint the frame blue. Apply glue to half of the
frame (the bottom half) and cover with the sand. Once this
is done glue on the small pebbles and shells. Draw a small
sun from card, paint it yellow and glue it to the top
right corner. Of course you could cover the whole of the
frame in shells if you desire.
Jazzy frame
Paint the frame any colour you like but for a jazzy look
bright pinks and yellows look best. Decide on what pasta
shapes you would like to use. Now lay them on a sheet of
paper the same size as the frame and experiment with the
design. Once you have got your desired design paint the
pasta shapes in a variety of colours. Glue them to the
frame and stick in a photo of you and your friends.
Button frame
You can usually pick up bags of buttons from fairs,
charity shops, for net to nothing or ask your nan or your
mother if they have any. I have collected bags of buttons,
beads and other bits and pieces for years they always come
in handy. Glue a mass of different shapes, sizes and
coloured buttons to your frame. It will look amazing.
Puzzle frame
Don`t throw out that jigsaw that has half the pieces
missing - instead paint them in bright colours and make a
frame for your favourite photo.
Paint the jigsaw in your favourite colours. You can either
have them multi-colours or just two colours such as black
and white. Glue the photo to a piece of card that is just
a bit bigger. Once your jigsaw pieces are dry glue them to
the card. They must overlap so that you cant see any of
the card. Tape a bit of string to the back to hang from
the wall.
