DIY picture frame.

These are one of my favorite things to make.


What you need:


                     
a wooden frame  ( I got mine at Michales for $1.00)          Scrapbook paper 
                    
Mod Podge ( I made some               foam brush                                        acrylic paint
 using 50% glue and 50% 
 water in glass jar )
    
            small paint brush                                               Exacto knife ( I used a box cutter )
  1. Trace paper along the frame with a pencil then cut with the Exacto knife.
  2.  Next, cover the front of the frame with a nice layer of ModPodge using your sponge brush. Let it “set” for about 30 seconds, then apply another layer of Mod Podge. Then place your scrapbook paper on top and smooth out bubbles.
  3. Apply a few  more coats of modpodge for best results. Allow 15 minutes in-between to dry.
  4. Enjoy. Give it to a friend or enjoy if for yourself (:
