This unique frame shows a great way to display your photos in a fun, crafty, and green way! Grab a box that’s laying in your recycle bin, cut a piece for the “frame”, a piece for the easel, and you’re ready to go! Ink or paint as desired, then use our Adhesive Sheets in a different way to adhere glitter to the frame. Embellish with paper, flowers, a tag, and twigs from your backyard, add your photos, and you’ve got a unique frame, using some items from around the house!



Supplies:

• Corrugated Cardboard
• Patterned Paper – Basic Grey Indian Sumer - Aspen
• Distressed Tag- Tim Holtz

Instructions: 1. Cut an 8” x 8” square of corrugated cardboard. Distress as desired, by tearing off the top layer of cardboard.

2. Cut a 4” x 4” square of corrugated cardboard, then score, and fold down the middle for the easel.

3. Ink edges with brown ink.

4. Loose apply a 6” x 12” Adhesive Sheet to the cardboard. Do not press down to hard, to achieve a “scattered” application-in this case, we don’t want a smooth, even application. Apply glitter, shake off excess.

5. Cut a 4” x 5” piece of Basic Grey Indian Summer patterned paper, and adhere as shown, using Craft & Photo Tape.

6. Stamp sentiment on tag, and ink to distress. Ink edges of photos, and apply all using Black 3D Foam Squares.

8. Apply easel on back, using Craft & Photo Tape.
