Mother's Day Photo Frame

Search terms: decorator. 

  • These frames can be decorated in a number of ways. Use the steps below as a decorative guide and mix up the techniques to create a unique combination of your own!
  • Step 1Paint your frame a bright colour. Allow to dry.
  • Step 2Decorate with sequins. Attach with glue.
  • For less glitter wastage, use a scrap piece of paper folded in half to catch the glitter falling off the frame while decorating. This will make it easy to tip the glitter back into the container ready to reuse!
  • Step 4Paint glue in a line or pattern around the frame. While the glue is still tacky, sprinkle glitter over the frame covering it entirely. Allow to dry.
  • Step 5Paint dots or triangles around the inner or outer edge of your frame to create interest. Allow to dry.
  • When working with photos try photocopying your photos rather than cutting up an original.
