  • Step 1Begin by giving your frame a coat of white paint. This is not essential but provides a good base for painting. Allow to dry.
  • Step 2Cut up small squares of coloured tissue paper. Coat the frame in slightly watered down PVA glue and cover in tissue paper pieces while the glue is still wet. Allow to dry.
  • Step 3Give your frame a coat of glitter paint to hold down the tissue paper pieces. This will also add a touch of sparkle. Allow to dry.
  • Step 4Decorate your frame with foam letters spelling out “BEST FRIENDS”. Attach with glue.
  • You may wish to write something different on the frame, like a name or another phrase. The possibilities are endless.
  • Step 6Decorate your frame with rhinestones as embellishments. Attach with glue. Allow to dry.
