seashell frame so cheap to make
Saturday, August 08, 2009
helloooo today i made a picture frame out of seashells. it was pretty easy and all the materials that i needed were found in my house.
the materials you need to complete this task are
-cardboard(you can find cardboard anywhere,from a old shoe box or a cereal box, and you don't have to pay any money to get this)
-a glue gun(you should a glue gun in your house if you like doing crafts)
-seashells(which you can get for free from just going to the beach... you don't have to pay a penny to get these seashells=D)
-string
-a ruler(or you could just you a straight edge of any material like wood cardboard paper or a book)
-a picture of anything you want
direction to make this task
-first you have to measure how big you want your frame to be
-next you take your card board and with your ruler or straight edge material measure and draw a rectangle,square triangle any shape you want. then when you have your shape cut out two pieces of the same shape.
-take one of the cardboard that you cut out and cut a smaller shape of the bigger shape in the middle(that was confusing i will try to explain.... if you cut out a square out of your cardboard, cut out a smaller version of it in the middle of the bigger square)that is where your picture would go.
-now take your glue gun and glue your two cardboards together but you have to leave an opening so you could slide a picture in
-take your seashells and glue them on the cardboard in any way you want you could add glitters to the cardboard to make it look more interesting
- then you just have to let it dry
- when your shells dried turn your picture frame turn around the frame to the blank side,,,then take your string and glue or tape each end to the cardboard.
-then your done and you just finished making the most beautiful picture frame on earth and for very cheap.
