Handmade Photo Frames

Now, this is first timer for me…not the photo frame. But doing craft exchange with fellow bloggers. It was a wonderful experience where I created these two recycled frames with paper roses, and got lovely handmade gifts in return. :-)

This time I tried two different designs. First one, by slightly modifying the calendar, whereas in other one I have used the desktop calendar as it is, advantage being - the frame is self supported. There is no need to attach the extra support from behind. For paper roses, Helen has this lovely tutorial on her blog.

Materials Used: Old Desktop calendar, Handmade papers, pattern paper, OHP sheets, double-sided tape, Craft paper (for roses), Glue, craft scissors & embellishments.

Take a look at the final product:

Photoframe with flowers, hearts and lots of LOVE..!!

Hello Friends,

For the very first time I have created a photo frame...yes a complete photo frame right from scratch.
This is a completely recycled project. I have used old desktop calender base, red and golden handmade paper (from some old wedding card) and lots of creativity.

So here is the final outcome. I was quiet satisfied with the result....!!
Initially I tried quilled flowers, spiral roses..but nothing looked better than these fringed flowers along with golden spirals...!!
Intricate golden design is all hand cut.

A closer looks..

With flowers and hearts, the theme of this photo frame is "Love", and keeping this in mind I have placed this picture of my wedding...which was indeed a very beautiful new beginning of my new role(s)..!!
