Altered Picture Frame for Baby

June 25, 2009 | Filed under: Articles and tagged with: baby, baby gift, Do it Yourself, home decor, Mari Koegelenberg, picture frame

Here’s an easy project picture frame project that can be personalized with your favorite kit. All you will need is:

  • A blank picture frame
  • A digital kit
  • Adhesive
  • Miscellaneous embellishments if you would like to add some.

For my project I used Mari’s Luvbug kit and an unfinished wooden frame found at my local craft store.

To begin, I measured the sides of the frame to see how much paper I would need to cover them. I then digitally cut and pasted strips of paper from the kit onto a page to be printed. I also selected the digital elements that I wanted to use, copied and pasted onto another page to print.

Once printed, I cut out the strips of paper. I cut the top and bottom strips diagonal on the sides to make the edges meet. I then used Xyron adhesive to adhere the strips to the sides of the frame and used sandpaper to remove the excess paper from the sides. I also added a little chalk ink to the edges for a distressed look.

Next I cut out the elements that I had printed from the kit and glued them to the frame. In addition to the digital elements, I decided to add a bit of ribbon, chipboard and a button as shown.

All done! But wait… I’m giving this project away! Just leave a comment to this post for your chance to win it.
