Altered picture frame

What a beautiful transformation :o) I am sure the recipient will adore it!

Thanks Rach! I used scrapbook paper on them, and if I do it again, I think a lighter weight paper would work better so it will fold up easier. I think some thin fabric would be really nice to cover it...thats a good idea! Hmmm...I would have to paint or prime over the cartoon design that they were originally printed with, as the pattern was pretty bold, and would probably show through! Thanks for the idea on the fabric!

Thanks Emmy! Just start "fiddling!".. Ideas will start flowing and before ya know it...you will have a lovely frame! After doing this project, I would like to try another one!

Wow, that's inspiring.

I am not into "altering" but this I could really get into.

what type of surface was the original frame, metal or plastic or wood?

Thanks, that's a super cool idea! and it looks FABULOUS!
