Hybrid Home Decor

January 18, 2012 | Filed under: Articles and tagged with: Do it Yourself, gift, home decor, Sugarplum Paperie, wall hanging

My kids gave me this picture frame two Christmases ago and I still hadn’t used it. So, I started looking for ideas to use it, not just for a picture, but something to add to my wall decorations in my room. I decided to find a kit that matched my bedding. Follow along as we turn an ordinary frame into a work of art.

Supplies:

  • Every Day of the Year by Sugarplum Paperie
  • Scissors
  • Punches
  • Glue
  • Frame
  • Stickles

The first thing I did was punched out my shapes. I am using a hexagon punch I have had for forever.

Once I knew I had enough punches to cover my 4×6 piece of cardboard, I poured out some glue and grabbed my brush. I spread enough glue to put down a few punches and just kept gluing and sticking them down as I went.

Once all my punches were glued down, I trimmed the edges to make it all look pretty.

I then took some of my stickles and spread a layer of it over my paper to give it a little sparkle.

Once my picture was dry, I inserted it into my frame. I punched out a couple of butterflies and adhered them to the outside of the frame. I found a few nails and hung my frame.

    LOVE the cards but I have to tell you I have looked near and far, up and down, sideways and underground and cannot find ANYWHERE a hexagon punch let alone one that has two punches together. Aaaaaaaargh! This has become my personal quest/nightmare. If you have any ideas where I can find one (Google, nope; scrapbook stores, nope; big box craft stores – Mike’s, Joann’s, Hobby, nope); eBay, nope, or are willing to sell yours please let me know. Love your stuff.

    Hi Holly,

    I got my hexagon punch what seems like eons ago through Creative Memories. I am not sure if they even sell these types of punches anymore.
