Jason's Blog - Decorative Picture Frames

Deco Podge and Collage is a great way to clean out your scrap bin. Any scrap small or large will work for this technique. The only other supplies you will need is some mod-podge or yes paste, inks for shading, and a brush to apply the glue. I like to paint the surface first with matching acrylic paint. Then, I tear the paper, ink the edges, and glue it to the surface layer by layer, add some stamps, perfect pearls, crackle paint, stickles, embossing powder, glimmer mist, rhinestones, flowers, ribbon, button or what ever else you have in your stash. Just make sure the glue is applied all the way to the edges so they don't peel up. Here are some photos of some picture frames I made using some of my favorite scrap paper, distress ink, tim holtz masks, crackle paint and so on. I cut 5 pages for the middle to add more interest and photos to the project.

















We are doing this project on the 11th and 22nd. The cost is $15 and we will be making 2 of them while we play with some fun products. Feel free to bring your own scraps that will match your homes decor, but if not, we will give everyone a paper allowance at the class for paper. There is no need to bring anything else to the class but feel free to.
