  • Step 1Paint your frame with a base coat of white paint. Allow to dry. This is not essential but will help to make your colour brighter.
  • Step 2Sketch out your design onto a piece of paper before you start to decorate your frame. Once you have a design, transfer it lightly onto your frame using a pencil. This is not essential, but helps with planning your design. Look to our frame designs above for inspiration or come up with your own.
  • Step 3Paint your shirt with bright colours. Allow to dry.
  • Step 4Paint the areas you would like to cover in glitter with glue. While the glue is still wet, sprinkle with glitter. Shake off any excess glitter.
  • 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 6Choose a photo to pop into your frame. Cut your photo to 8 x 5.5cm and insert in the top of the frame. We recommend photocopying your photo rather than cutting up an original.
  • There are so many ways to decorate your shirt frame… Look through our images for inspiration!
