DIY: Photo frame

Hey there my lovelies,

I already have showed you Mother's Day gift - Photo Collage. From my own experience I know that it's difficult to find narrow frame, that's why I will show you how to make your own frame. It's not only cheaper but you can personalize it and there is nothing better than a personalized gift.

For this project you will need : photo, hard paper, ruler, pencil, scissors, glue, something for decoration and patience. So let's begin!

First trace the shape of your picture on the paper and mesure about 1,5 sm on each side to make the frame.Than cut out one piece for the back and one for the front. The back is the picture+ the frame, and the front only the frame.

Lay everything down and place them how you want them to be. Glue the picture to the back side and after that glue the front side. Be careful not to put glue on the photo.

Finaly to make the picture stand up you will need too harder pieces of paper. Cut out 2 identical rectangles and bent them at the same place. After that glue them to the back side on the same level.

To finish the frame and to make it look more beautiful you can color the whole frame ( if you decide to do that I suggest first to paint the parts, let them dry completely and after that glue everything together) or you can glue different decorations to it. I chose the second and just cut out this flowers from an old calendar. If you're good at drawing you can even draw something. It all up to you - make it to fit the personality of the person you're going to give the frame to ... or your own if you're keeping it for your self.
