How to Enhance Your Framed Art Work With a Theme of Your Choice-Home Theme

Here is another great way to recycle your picture or art frames rather than throwing them out because the glass is missing or broken, or you’re just bored with the look.  Bring your frame back to vivid life with a beautifully unique framed art design that would look great in any home décor.  This is the third in a series of three articles on framed art projects.  Here is how:

Cut a piece of cardboard and mount it to the back of the wood frame large enough to cover the opening of the frame and secure it with clear packing tape. The cardboard now replaces the missing glass and will hold your project in place. Next cut ribbed finished scrap paper to the size of your frame opening and secure to the cardboard using artist spray adhesive. Note: this step can be done prior to securing your cardboard to the back of the frame opening.  Next, arrange embellishments by your theme (we chose a ‘Home for Sale’ theme) using double sided foam tape.  For this project you can use store bought embellishments or make your own. Try adding ribbon, decorative push pins, peel and stick words, letters, numbers or charms to personalize your project.  The main thing is to have fun with it and make it your own. Tip: Painting your picture frame to coordinate with your framed art project would also enhance your finished art work.

Supplies:

• Wooden Frame
• Cardboard
• Package of embellishments (or you can make your own).
• 1 piece of ribbed finished scrap paper (we used an olive green)
• Double sided foam tape
• Artist spray adhesive
• Satin Ribbon – ½ “width or smaller (we used an olive green) attach with foam tape

Optional: Peel & Stick words, letters or numbers

Optional: Decorative push pins
