Wedding : DIY Frames

Hi Everyone!

So I've been completely MIA lately. I have been incredibly busy, which is crazy considering all the wedding stuff is now over. We have been busy though. Anyway, I'm sorry and I'm back hopefully, with more regular posts. Tonight, I'm coming at you with another DIY project for weddings (or for any party). They are DIY frames and they are super easy. Let's get started!

Things you will need:
- frames (different sizes, in your desired colour. I found two of mine at Dollarama and the other was at Value Village)
-paint (in your desired colours if you bought the frames from the Dollar store that you paint yourself)
-paintbrush
-nice wrapping paper or scrapbook paper (I got black and white damask wrapping paper for $1.50 at Michael's)
-White printer paper
-Computer
-Printer

Step 1:
Take the frame apart and paint it.You may need more than one coat on them depending on the desired colour. Let those dry.

Step 2:
Once dry, place glass back in the frame. Take the little paper and use this as a guide to cutting out your decorative backing. I traced the outline of the piece of paper onto the back of my wrapping paper. I think I might have even secure it to the little paper with tape.

Step 3:
Once you have all the right sizes for the decorative backing, go to your computer and using Word or a program similar to word, type out what you would like to say in the frame. You can play around with font and style of font after you have typed out what you want. For examples, you can google what you are looking for or refer below for  "Welcome to our wedding", "Candy Bar" and "Guest Book" templates.

Step 4:
Once you have what you have done on Word, print it out. Cut it out so that it fits nicely on your decorative frame but isn't hidden by the frame (if there is an overlay). Tape your sentences down. Try to make sure it is centred.

Step 5:
Once everything is taped down, put everything back into the frame and close it up. With that you have a great frame that can welcome guests or instruct guests as to what they need to do for a specific table.

I hope that you all have enjoyed this DIY project. Like I said, it can be used for a birthday party or a wedding or any kind of party. It is a nice and easy way of instructing guests about what to do. Happy Crafting! xoxo
