Turn your recycled magazines into an ombre picture frame! Ombre seems to be all the rage these days and I have been wanting to make something with it for a while. When this idea came to me I thought it would be perfect.
You will need:
- Old magazines
- Picture Frame — I had this unfinished frame in my stash
- Mod Podge
- Ribbon
- Paint
- Die Cuts for decoration (I used the stamps that PSA Essentials sent me to decorate mine)
I started by painting the edges of my frame white.
I decided to go with a white to gray to black ombre pattern. So I went through my magazines I cut strips from appropriately colored pages. Then I layed them out on my frame and arranged them until they looked good.
I then cut the strips to length and mod podged them onto the frame. After the mod podge dried, I used some ribbon to give then edges a more finished appearance.
I used various die cuts and PSA Essentials stamps to pretty it up in one corner. These I just glued on.
I {of course} added a picture of my high school senior and set it out to display.
Isn’t it great that something you were going to throw away can become something beautiful!
