We can do many things by our hands. They are magic. We can create toys,
gifts, frames and just things that we like. Today I’ll tell you how you can make a wonderful frame for your favorite
photos by your hands, without spending a lot of time, materials and money. You will need: dense cardboard, good glue, scissors, and decor. This may be buttons, cereals, coffee and other things. If you plan to paint your trim, then you need this
set: paint and polish. Thus, the sequence of your work is:
- Cut 2 rectangles of cardboard. Width of the frame should be not less than 3 cm. It looks more attractive.
- Encircles
photo on a center of one of the work pieces, retreating deep into the contour of 2-3 mm and do one more. Cut out the window on this line. You must remember the “window” frame should be smaller than the picture.
- decorate the outside of the work piece. You may paste buttons and cover them with a layer of spray paint. Or you can glue the cereal or coffee, after painting the frame. And then you have to cover the product with polish. You can use any trim, even the old tin foil and wire. Crumple a little bit foil and wrap it the frame. Color it by golden paint. When the paint dries, rub the foil to get the effect of antiquity. Wrap your frame by the old wire. You can use as a decoration a
gift paper, which you can order online. My friend uses pasta as a trim. She chooses a bizarre form, such as bows and painted them a simple nail polish. Then she sticks them on the frame.
- Next step is to apply the glue on the inner side of the work piece, retreating a few mm from the edge and leaving the top side without adhesive. Glue two pieces together.
- Glue the cardboard “leg”. Interesting material for the framework can be received even from the children’s construction
set. Took a dense cardboard and do the basis in the same way as described above. Paste over it by yellow colored paper. Cut out countries, islands and continents of the old atlas. Take rubber in the shape of the ball; take the wheels, camera, binoculars, and a ship from children’s construction. Fix them on your frame and paste your trip
photo. Or you can use seashells, coins, stones and leaves of trees that you brought from your travel.
