Introduction:
Making gifts is one of the
most rewarding ways to use artistic skills.
Create a picture frame and put a special
picture in it for a friend or family member.
Materials:
8"X10" precut
mat with beveled window cut out 8"X10" matboard
Double
stick tape
8" cardboard,
easel back

films

Funky
Films are holographic/prismatic shimmering sheets of adhesive
backed films. Available in 30 different acid free colors
and designs. Just cut, peel and stick! Funky Furs are new
imitation animal print furs. Available in six exotic patterns.
Washable and packed with a sheet of double stick material.
Directions:
1) Decide what shapes you would like place
on your picture frame and where you would like to place
them.
2) If you are using funky fur, adhere the double stick sheet to the back side
of the furry sheet. Now it is ready for you to cut shapes out of it. Funky
films are ready right out of the package!
3) Cut shapes out of Funky Film and Funky Fur and arrange them on the front
of the precut mat. Peel the backing sheets off them and adhere them to the
mat.
4) Use double stick tape to adhere a picture to the precut mat. Put double
stick tape in the corners of the precut mat. Line the 8"X10" piece of matboard
up with it. Stick them together.
5) Stick the easel back on the back of the matboard to hold the frame up. Give
the picture and frame to someone special!
