You can make an unusual frame for your lovely photos yourself. For this, unnecessary little things will come in handy, which can easily turn into a work of art.
Instructions
Step 1
In order to make original photo frames, you will need regular wooden frames of various sizes. It is better if the wooden frame is untreated, glue and paint are better applied to it. You can buy such simple frames in any baguette workshop or in the IKEA chain of stores. For gluing decorative elements, superglue designed specifically for wood surfaces is suitable.
Step 2
We often have shells brought back from the sea. Although they can be a great decoration for photo frames that you can put your beach photos in. Go through the shells, setting aside those that are suitable in size and without defects. Rinse them thoroughly under running water and dry. Pre-arrange the shells on the frame in the desired order. It is better to put them chaotically, but try not to have large voids. A large shell can be placed in the upper corner of the frame, thus making an accent. The shells are glued very carefully, immediately remove the glue that has come out with a cotton swab. Leave the frame to dry for a day. After the glue dries, you can paint the frame. Here you are given complete freedom of action. By the way, you do not need to be limited to blue or blue tones of paint at all. You can paint the frame in a variegated multi-colored range. You can preserve the natural color of your seashells by covering them with a protective layer. This layer can be the usual colorless base of nail polish. It will give the shells a shine and protect them from destruction.
Step 3
Those who have daughters are aware of the problem of children's hairpins and rubber bands: over the years, their number becomes menacing. Although these cute trinkets can be given a second life. For example, rubber bands with flowers. Cut the flowers from the rubber bands. Larger flowers can be placed in the corner of the photo frame, going down below, the size of the flowers can be reduced. You will get such a flower cascade. You can stick flowers only on top, and leave part of the bottom intact, so that there is no luridness. After gluing the flowers, place the frame under the load for a few hours. The wooden part of the frame can be painted with silver paint if the flowers are white. Or you can green if the flowers on the frame remind you of a spring meadow.
