Unique Picture Frames


        Voila! Found a wonderful way to use my miniature bags and slippers - as embellishments for my handmade picture frames!

       The picture frame skeleton is crafted from No. 20 chipboard wrapped in various colored crafts paper as needed. To add texture and design, I wrapped the face in reused embroidered abaca cutwork material. 

     


Finally, I chose slippers and bags that compliment each other and glued them over carefully on the picture frame face.




    The picture frames include a thin glass photo cover which I had to remove as I can't get good picture shots without camera reflections. Instead of glass, acrylic clear sheets may be used. It is a cheaper alternative, but is less durable, easily scratched and loses its luster in a short time.
