I don't know about you, but I always seem to have these little wooden dollar frames from michaels hanging around my house. I wanted to use one to showcase me and my hubby this V-day. We were very fortunate to go to Jamaica kid free about a year and a half ago. While there, I convinced my white knuckled man to go zip-lining with me. My husband hates anything where he is not in control so this was B-I-G, and most certainly memorable (and monumental on his part). I couldn't think of a better picture of what love is than doing something you are afraid of or incredibly uncomfortable with just to please your spouse. (insert the cheesy aww's here, I know) Here is the final Result:
Supplies: Wooden frame from Michael's
2 Sheets scrapbook paper plus word art
Mod Podge
2 different colored pieces of felt
Scissors, heart punch or cricut cartridge
I wish I could take credit for the tutorial on the flowers, but I can't. You can find detailed directions for these rolled flowers here. I used mod podge to glue the paper down onto the frame and also to seal it with a top coat. Once dry I added the embellishments. Easy peasy. One little hint about the frames. When you buy them, they come with a cardboard piece in the middle with the dimensions on it. DO NOT throw that piece away. It is perfect to add stability and backing to whatever picture you decide to frame. That's about it. Now go and display your crafted glory!
