25 Days of Christmas 2012 - Day 11


Day 11: 12x12 Frames 

If you have any favorite Christmas, holiday or winter photos you know that half of the fun of having those photos is the fun and creative ways that you can display them! Today I have a few project ideas on how to alter and embellish our 12x12 frames that would be perfect for this purpose. All of the frames come unfinished - but with a little paint, paper, vinyl and ribbon you can create quite the custom frame. Plus the photo opening size is 4x4" so most of your standard size printed photos will work with this piece.

For this first frame, we started by painting it red - then covered it with a few pieces of coordinating pattern paper, added the Jingle Bell vinyl and embellished with some ribbon and little bells.


For the second frame, we also started with paint and some pattern paper, but then we simply added some chipboard embellishments to the the corner of the photo opening.


For the last frame, we created a general winter themed frame by using a snowflake pattern paper and embellishing with metal snowflakes and blue rhinestones. The title at the bottom was created by just layering a couple pieces of pattern paper and adding a sticker using pop-dots for some added dimension.
