Picture Frame Crafts with Leaves
Posted on Nov 09, 2008 under dried flowers | 4 Comments
My Mom and I gathered some leaves for a festive inexpensive fall craft.
You’ll need:
Glue gun and glue sticks
x-acto knife and cutting mat or a stack of newspapers to cut on
glass cleaner
some dollar frames
some paint markers to cover any knicks in the frame
leaves in different colors
construction paper (acid free)
scissors
I didn’t actually show how I did this but I basically bought these frames from the dollar store and took out the picture that was in the frame. I had to use the x-acto knife (to take old glue off) and the cleaner before I decorated and re-glued. Some frames were easier to work with than others. The two glass frames are really nice and fairly easy to work with. The hardest one was the two black smaller framed ones. However those can lend a very cute shadow box look to your craft project. The set of three pictures that were standing up on the table were the simplest to work with. The inner borders came with the frames so it looked fairly professional when they were done yet also had a small feel of shadow box as well since the leaves were not pressed down with glass.
I used low heat glue gun for the leaves to anchor them in place onto the construction paper. Then I glued the paper to the back of the frame to keep it from sliding. Just a dot will do. I’m sure there may be some procedure to preserve the leaves before you put them in the frames but I just put them in newspapers and under a heavy book for a few days to dry before using them in any projects.
Some things I thought of were to put a clear coat of acrylic paint on them after they were dried. I however like the natural look better than a shiny leaf.
You could also use real or fake flowers and leaves for a spring look. Have fun! Thanks for watching!
