Make a gorgeous fabric picture frame to coordinate with your curtains or drapes!
- Pick large frame like the size of 11x14 inches, 16x20 inches, or 18x20 inches. Larger sizes look more dramatic.
- Use left over curtain fabric or a coordinating fabric for your frame. Also, use left over thin batting to have a more refined look.
- Buy and inexpensive foam board 1/4 inch thick or less or cardboard from a large box.
- Cut it a few inches smaller than the frame, so you leave enough allowance for the fabric that is going to be wrapped around it.
- Cut your fabric to the size of the board with batting (very thin so you can get in frame after), with 1 1/2 inches extra to seal over corners/sides.
- Using spray adhesive, spray your board, and gently place batting on on board, smoothing out all the wrinkles.
- Place fabric on top, sealing on corners and sides with hot glue. Place back into the frame and secure down.
- Optional: add multiple sizes of family photo for a more personal touch. Sepia or black and white photos look great on fabric frames. Now you have a nice unique coordinating picture in your room everyone will rave about.
