A collage technique using pot pouri to make a textured picture frame.
You will need:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Take the picture you want to frame and draw around it on some cardboard box card. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Put the picture to one side and draw another rectangle about 1 cm inside the one you've already drawn. It doesn't have to be neat at this stage. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then draw another rectangle about a ruler's width outside these two. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Cut out the middle and outside bits, leaving you with a rim like this. This makes up the basis of your frame. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Slop on some PVA glue, covering the frame all the way round. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now take some pot pourri! You can use some old stuff, or buy it cheaply from a craft fair or supermarket. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Arrange the bits of pot pourri however you like all around the frame, pushing it down into the glue carefully. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
You could glue things on top of each other, to create a double layer. This will also help to cover up the cardboard box card. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Let the glue dry, and this is what you're left with. It smells nice too! |
|
|
|
|
|
|
Place the frame over the photo and tape it into place. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can experiment with different types of pot pouri and pictures in different shapes and sizes. Try it yourself! |
