Tutorial : DIY photo frame with felt flowers
I made this photo frame for my mom’s birthday. Change the colors, buttons and theme and make one for any special occasion !
You could make one in red and green for Christmas, or in baby pink/blue with heart appliquŕ©s for a baby shower… Be inspired, be creative !
What you’ll need :
– An unvarnished/unfinished photo frame (in craft stores).
– Acrylic paint and a paint brush.
– Scraps of felt in colors that contrast well with the paint color.
– A few colorfull small buttons, sewing thread + needle.
– Sharp scissors and a pen.
– Super glue.
Remove the glass (to avoid staining it) and paint the frame with 2 coats of acrylic paint.
Draw cute shapes on the wrong side of felt, cut and embroider sides with sewing thread. Before cutting thread, add a second motif on top in contarsting color if desired and sew button on top.
I like to make heart motifs, or flowers… My daughter had also chosen a special strawberry button which we sewed on top of a leaf motif. Cute shaped buttons also add a lot !
Finally, glue your felt-and-buttons motifs on corners of frame with superglue, add a cute picture in your photo frame.. and you’re done !!! :-D
