Step-by-Step: How to frame

lets get right into it,

right what you will need for this little project is a frame,remove the glass & the back from the frame.this particular frame had a broken glass.

lay frame onto front side & remove back & glass

with a hook screw you should be able to screw some holes,I've drilled them the same size as a ordinary ring binder folder

once you have made the holes screw 2x hook screws into the holes till tight & using a pear of pliers close the gaps of the screw hooks as close as you can

turn your frame around front facing down,you will need a staple gun & some strong string & staple the string to the frame as per picture

turn your frame around back facing down this time a tadaaa.....you have a fantastic place for some photo's messages etc .

it should be looking like this when finished

make sure you double staple to secure string

I have used two large clips & one loo people figure to hold the photos in place

add some chipboard words

ribbon

& stickers

& Tadaaaaa all done,all these animal are able to be removed for different look

here it is in the folder, I have also add a small tag.A very easy project for those broken frames that need a new lease of life.
