Sometimes you just need a little color in your life. Whether it’s a book with a crazy story, dessert after dinner, or just a fun art project, we all need some color. This little project is how I recently added some to the guest room!
Supplies Needed:
- Mat board
- Patterned paper to cover mat with
- Spray adhesive or rubber cement
- X-Acto knife/scissors
- Ruler
- Cutting mat
If your frame didn’t come with a mat to size then you’ll need to cut your store bought one to fit. It’s simple – choose how wide you’d like it and mark it with your ruler. Then use your X-Acto knife or scissors to cut it out.
Spray the back of your patterned paper and the front of your mat with the spray adhesive, and carefully place one side on top of the other to adhere. Smooth out any bubbles.
Use the X-Acto knife and ruler again to cut away the excess paper on the inside from the mat. Tape your photo in place. Then place the mat and photo (mine is just a poster that I painted ‘be still’ on) into the frame, and you’re ready to hang!
Do you have any framed projects going on?
