I recently made a trip overseas. I wanted to create a frames to commemorate my trip. I saw some similar to these on Pinterest and decided that I was going to make my own. While I was on vacation I grabbed little souvenirs to accent the frames. This project could be dones with anything. I am thinking it could be really cool for a new baby. The name could be cut out and in the frame could go the hospital band, any cards received, etc.
Supplies:
-Matte Board
-Shadow box frame - I used 12" x 12"
-Exacto Knife
-Souvenirs
1. First, start by creating a document on the computer with the name of what is to go in the frame. I did this in illustrator but I am sure you can use word as well. It would be good to use a condensed thick font. I choose Impact for mine.
2. Then cut out a 12 x 12 inch square from matte board (or whatever size of frame you have).
3. Tape the print out to the matte board. I recommend sticking the tape to yourself a few times before attaching it so that it doesn't rip the board.
4. Cut out along the lines with an exacto knife and punch out the letters.
5. Decide which pictures to show in which letters.
6. Cut the pictures to the correct size and tape them behind the matte board.
7. Put the souvenirs in the shadow box. They can be glued to stay in place. As I am getting ready to move, I just stuck them with tape because I will need to disassemble them.
My Dublin frame isn't completed yet. I have a few more things to add to my London and Paris frames as well.
