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.
So festive! She'll love it.
ReplyDeleteA Fabulous frame and gift, love the star background too. Another Super idea Helen.
