DIY Frame Craft


This one is from the smarty pants people at Good Housekeeping, from the March 2010 issue. I thought this was such a cute idea that i had to share it with you all.

Supplies:

An old frame
pretty printed fabric slightly larger than frame
carboard
scissors
masking tape
1/2 inch beads to match your frame
hot glue gun

Step One
Remove the glass from the frame and trace shape onto the cardboard and the cut out


Step Two
Cut out a piece of fabric slightly larger than the cardboard and cover the cardboard using the masking tape to secure the edges on the back side.


Step Three
Reassemble the frame.


Step Four
To create feet, hot glue gun beads to the bottom as shown in the picture.

Easy right! You can do this with large or small frames, or you could even decoupage pictures onto the carboard if you want to.
