Making Frames

Using simple borders you can create a huge selection of themed Photograph frames that display and compliment work done by adults & children!

Extend this to scrap booking techniques, Mirror & art work frames !
  • Mosiac squares ~ gummed shapes & pieces of card can make beautiful mosiac designs for bordering work.
  • Lolly Sticks make a good immediate frame ~ colour the sticks with pens/ paint glue & collage items!
  • Dried leaves & paper flowers ~ make a great season border
  • Sea shells & beads pressed into a precut clay frame - Once dry the children could paint between the shells and add glue ~ glitter or sequins.
Use collage pieces that relate to your theme ~

If you have any Photographs of frames that you've made for Wall displays ~ Photo Albums or Children's art work or your own Hobby work and would like to share them with everyone EMAIL us & let us know

Fabric scraps work well - they can be wrapped around the frame or even padded!
