And likefather's day is coming it wasthe perfect opportunity todo something. It tooks me about two hours to realize this project. I'm gonna put picture of my two kids in it as a father day's present!
So you gonna need:
Cardboard (2mm and 0.5mm thickness), 2 different papers (I used brown Skyvertex and beige tissue paper), white glue, paint brush, pencil, equerre, cutter, and scissors.
2. Cut paper angles.
3. Fold paper and glue on cardboard. Cut an extra piece of paper and gue it on the center, to fill the gap between rectangles. You make the hinge to fold your photo frame.
4. Cut 2 rectangles on beige paper, 7" x 5.1" (13cm x 18 cm)
5. Glue them on the inside.
6. What you must have at this point, the back of your photo frames.
To glue,I spreadwhite gluewith a brush andthenI flattenthe paperby hand.
8. Cut 2 rectangles on beige paper and glue on the front.
9. Cut angles and center. Fold and glue on the back. You must have 2 beige frames.
11. Fold and glue paper. You must have 2 brown frames.
12. You gonna glue the three pieces together.
First glue the beige frames on the back part, one on each side, leavingfreethehingein the middle.
Then glue brown frame on top of beige frame.
To be surethat alltheparts arewell gluedtogetheryou can put themunder a pile ofbook (orsomething heavy) to press until glue dries.
If you want to do more cardboard stuff or if you look for nice paper, material and tutorial take a look at L'éclat de verre. You can also check my other cardboard projects: toys and craft supplies organization
So tell me, what did you plan for father's day?
