Picture Frames
A beautiful picture frame really brightens up a
room. You
can create your own unique picture frame from used ice cream bowls. Enjoy making
this simple
craft.
Materials
- 4,5 Ice Cream bowls (oval or
round shape) of same size
- Pictures
- Cotton
- Scissor
- Light weight Card board
- Fishing Line
- Paint
How to make
Paint the ice cream bowls with acrylic or other paint. Let it
dry. If you would like to hang the picture make two holes in the ice cream bowl.
Take an ice cream bowl half and place it in the cardboard in a way that the
cut side is down. Trace the edge with a pencil. Cut out the circle shapes of cardboard
inside the traced line carefully. It should be slightly smaller than the inside diameter
of the rim of the bowl.
Place these patterns on the pictures
or photos. Position the circle so you get the best parts of the picture and cut
out the pictures to match the size of circle patterns. Glue them to the cardboard discs
neatly.
Fill the bowls with cotton. Insert the cardboard disc into the rim of the
bowl.
Take a fishing
line and thread one end of the line through the holes in
the bowl and knot the open ends on the S hook.
