Gift Picture Frames

Christmas shopping and bargain hunting this weekend got me very motivated for gift giving.
I had to try out Katie's frame idea.

1. paint back and sides
2. let dry and then turn over
3. 1 coat Mod Podge adhesive
4. apply cute scrapbooking paper

5. smooth out wrinkles/bumps with brayer (I think that's what it's called)
6. Let begging sick 3 year old that just woke up early from his nap HELP
7. turn over and use craft knife to cut away extra paper
8. sand edges
9. apply more Mod Podge (I used 2 top coats)

10. smooth again with brayer
11. repeat with SEALER (I used 2 coats)
Finished project - three matching frames
Looks good vertical or horizontal
I also made this "friends" frame for a girlfriend of mine =)
I used 2 different papers, ric-rac, and flowers.
I attached the embellishments with a hot glue gun.
Want some but don't want to make them yourself? Check out KayteeBee Designs on Etsy.
