This was a Christmas present for my in-laws. I had a lot of fun making it and really loved the way it turned out. Here’s what I did:
Step 1: Buy glass-less frame and Proclamation to the World for $1.50 from Deseret Industries.
Step 2: Find pictures of each family member (their kids and grandkids, and them too.) I ordered prints from Wal-Mart.com. I had a recent picture of almost everyone. But facebook and blogs helped too.
Step 3: Measure the mat inside the frame and create a pattern piece of paper to place on each picture and trace before I cut each picture. A couple of them I cut too soon and had to very carefully re-glue them.
Step 4: Cut and arrange pictures, making sure not to forget anybody! (Yeah, I almost forgot Uncle Jeff, and Christopher- my own son!) Glue the pictures on the mat.
Step 5: I had a piece of glass from another frame that I had used for another project (magnet board). I placed the glass in, replaced the back of the frame and wrapped the present!
I am definitely learning to LOVE photo projects!
That's really cute. I haven't seen it yet. We need to go and visit Walla Walla. I can't remember when we went last. Maybe it was Christmas Day....
ReplyDeleteLove it! I did the same thing with "The Living Christ" and wallet-sized pictures of Christ. So fun!
