DIY - Box Frame Art

This is so easy and inexpensive, anyone can do it. You can personalise what you put in the frame according to the room and best of all you can change it whenever you want. I've have three examples here, but the possibilities are endless...

Home Sweet Home

This one is a great house-warming gift - the supplies I used were...
  • Gold Glitter Alphabet Stickers - I used these but you can cheaper/smaller/non glitter alternatives (non glitter - who'd want those?!)
  • A box frame - mine is from Asda and was about £3 and came with a mount
  • Patterned paper - mine are from Mollie Makes
  • Plain cardboard
  • A ruler, scissors, pencil and craft knife
I cut the paper to match the inside of the frame where the photo would normally be and then I started to work out where the letters should go. Using a ruler and pencil enabled me to space out the letters in a consistent way and ensure it was straight.



Once the letters were all stuck, I traced a house shape onto some tracing paper, transferring the house onto the paper and cutting out with a craft knife and ruler. I then placed contrasting cardboard behind it. 

Scrabble Tiles

These also require a box frame (ensure the depth of the frame will allow space for the tiles) . I used E6000 glue to stick the tiles in place. The wooden Scrabble tiles would look good too.

Remember My Space? No me either...


Patterned/Text Paper

With this example, you can just cut it to size and stick it in the frame :)
