Scrap - A - 4 Pictures Butterfly Frame

This is a beautiful frame for 4 pictures. The materials and how to make it, is basicly the same as all the discriptions of the "Easy to make frame" we have on the blog allready.
Here are some pictures..




Scrap - A - Baby Page

Scrap-a-babypage

 You need:
 scissors, glue, buttons, ribbons, any embellisments you like ( for a boy or girl )
 lots of little pieces of left over coordinating paper, some labels and
 2 pages 12" X 12" as your background

 We will show you on our You-Tube video how to put this page together with
 whatever material we found
 you can of course buy some nice paper but I tried to get rid of some of our
"leftovers" from other projects and the result is very cute
 if you have a scoring board you can also make cute little envelopes which you 
 can use for a little momentum or anything you like
 Hope you enjoy our ideas

Patriot Scrapbook

Scrap-A-Patriot Book / Memories Book / Baby Girl / Christmas

The sizes are medium, more or less books for 4"x6" pictures, so not too big and not to small

 You need,
 scissors, glue, cuttingboard, corner-punch, photocorner-punch, crop-o-dile (or a hole-punch)
 some foam 2-sides tape or glue-dots (to raise the embellisments or labels) stapler.
 7 pieces of cardboard or chipboard 8" x 6"
 2 x pieces of different "patriotic" paper or red-white- or blue cardstock
 from the same size as the chipboard or cardboard
 Patriotic....stickers, embellishments, ribbons, flags, stars, labels, buttons, papaerclips.
 We kept everything red, white and blue to make it totally American.

 Cut out the paper to size and arrange the pictures you would like to use,
 depending on size the book will hold 12 to 15 pictures.
 Use different paper and/or cardstock to make the matting for the pictures.
 We made the book in such a way, as a gift, so that people can add their own pictures.
 Before you glue the finished pages onto the cardboard, meassure the holes for the ribbons
 or rings that will "bind" the book, and punch them, be careful also to leave room on your pages
 for the holes.
 Use your immagination to make it pretty and if you make it as a gift
 try to personalize it as much as possible.
 You can see the finished product on YouTube "Scrap-A-Patriot Book"
 Enjoy

We have a "how to" video on You Tube if you want to see how it is made.


Easy to make Scrap Wall Hanger

Materials:

3 Pictures
3 times 6'' X 9'' thin cartons ( shoebox or so)
Different colors papers cut into 3 times 7'' X 10'' pieces, 3 times 6'' X 9'' pieces and 3 times 5'' X 7''
4 pieces of 3'' long ribbon and 1 piece of 7 '' long ribbon
Double sided foam tape
Glue,scissors
Any color ink pad ( preferably to go with the papers you choose)
Embellishments ( flowers, trinkets,labels,buttons, etc.)


Instructions:

Cover the 3 pieces of carton with the 3 pieces of 7'' X 10'' paper. Cut the corners of the paper,before folding the paper around the corners to get a nice clean corner.
Glue the 5'' X 7'' pieces of paper in the middle of the covered carton to place the picture on. ( you can “antique” the edges of the papers with the ink pad if you wish, before gluing the papers)
Glue the pictures on.
Apply some double sided foam tape on the back of your embellishments ( to make them a bit higher) and glue them where you would like to see them.( or you can just glue them on )
The front is done.

Turn the frames around and mark the spot where you are going to glue the pieces of 3'' ribbon to connect the frames to each other.
Mark them 2'' from each side,towards the middle, and 1'' from frame to frame. ( this way you have 1'' of ribbon to glue to each side of each frame)
Don't forget to mark your 1'' distance on the ribbon itself, before you glue it to the frame,to make sure the ribbons are on there straight. Otherwise it will hang crooked
Repeat with both frames.
Glue the 7'' ribbon in the middle of the top frame so you can hang it up once you are done.

Last
Glue the 3 times 6'' X 9'' papers on the back of the frames, over the ribbons to make a nice clean back.




Or you can make a Rapunzel Wallhanger
