Just a really quick birthday frame for Iris’s 9th birthday, I know, where have those years gone?
There’s not a lot to it. I took one of the bathroom, shadow type frames I got from Poundland years ago now. I remember seeing their potential and buying them in bulk, some in one of their sales for just 25p each. I still have a few left, so you’ll probably be seeing them again. sometime in the future. The wooden letters came from The Works, again a while back now.
I started by taking the back off the frame and covering the front with a scrap of shimmery navy coloured card.
I then centred the letters as best as I could, before gluing them in place using B-7000 glue for a secure fix.
……. followed by various confetti stars and clusters of three white dots using a white paint pen to help fill in the gaps and bring the whole thing together …….
…….. before gluing refitting the back, again using B-7000.
If I were to repeat the idea, I think I would use lots of different coloured, ultra fine glitter to cover all the letters as the idea could very easily take on some extra bling and sparkle.
