Instructions:
-
Prepare the Frame: Paint your picture frame in a color of your choice and let it dry completely. If you already have a frame with a finish you like, you can skip this step.
-
Cut Scrapbook Paper Squares: Cut nine 2-inch by 2-inch squares from scrapbook paper that fits your theme or color scheme.
-
Attach Paper Squares: Evenly space and glue the paper squares onto the frame. Allow them to dry before moving on to the next step.
-
Glue together all three layers of the large flower. Alternating colors and spacing so petals do not overlap. Cut-out small circle for the center of the flower and add "Micro Mini Buttons" to the center
-
Decorate the frame with your chosen embellishments: Glue down doilies and jute cord to add texture. Use the jute cord to create small nests and place "Hen House" buttons inside. Attach sunflower buttons alongside leaf shapes cut from scrapbook paper. Scatter additional buttons or accents throughout the frame wherever you'd like.
-
Final Touches: Let everything dry thoroughly before using or displaying your frame.
Tips: If any of your buttons or embellishments have a shank (the loop on the back), clip it off with nail clippers or wire cutters so they lay flat when glued.
