Day 5 of the 10 Crafts of Christmas Christmas Frame



Supplies:
Picture frame
Scrapbooking paper
Cardboard tree (Dollar bin album Michael's)
Leaf sprig (Dollar bins at Michael's)
Snowflake garland (Christmas area of Michael's)
Snowflake buttons (Christmas area of Michael's)
Distress ink (Black Soot)

Step 1 Take frame apart and measure for scrapbooking paper.
Step 2 Cut out the paper.
Step 3 Put the frame back together with the paper on top of the glass.
Step 4 Glue snowflake garland around edge of frame.
Step 5 Paint cardboard tree green. I also cut off the trunk.
Step 6 Cut individual leaves off of sprig.
Step 7 Glue leaves to tree.
Step 8 Trim leaves around the edge of tree and ink to add depth.
Step 9 Glue tree to center of frame.
Step 10 Glue buttons around tree.

This frame could have anything in the center. An trees made from buttons, a holiday sentiment, small stocking anything really. I know black isn't a traditional Christmas color, but I really like the way it looks.
