Instructions

  1. Small 2009 07242009june0008 1249297844

    I bought a secondhand wooden photo frame from a charity shop. Once you've got yours, take the glass and picture out. Sand down the photo frame till there is no paint or varnish on it. Paint it your required colour. Allow to dry. I needed about 3 coats of paint in total.

  2. Next I took the orignal backing of the frame and covered it in fabric. I stuck it down with masking tape to keep it in place. You can probably glue it in place, but you'll need to wait for it to dry before moving onto the next step.

  3. Take the ribbin and wrap it around the fabric covered board with your desired pattern. Stick the ribbon in place either with glue or masking tape.

  4. Cut a piece of fabric the size of the fabric covered board. This will cover the back so you can't see the masking tape or glue keeping the front in place. Glue this in place to secure it.

    Return the fabric covered board to the frame. Secure in place. Attach hooks to hang it up and Voila! done. Just hang it up and slide in important dates, pictures or other stuff that keep the memories flowing. Enjoy! *high five*
