Today is the boys last day of school (hooray?) and I spent a little time making their teacher a small thank you gift. Both boys had wonderful teachers this year and deserved something special.
I took these simple wood frames.
And painted the edges to match the paper I had already selected.
Then I glued the paper to the frame without making any cuts. I used Mod Podge.
Then I took my craft knife and cut around the outside of the frame, then the inside. Sorry, no pictures of that.
After that I used the embellishments that I had to finish it off. I used coordinating paper, some stickers that I found at Hobby Lobby(with a 40% coupon, of course), and two sizes of circle punches. I also cut out the apple shape from the one paper because it looked good on the other. I used glue dots and pop-up dots to give the project dimension. To finish it all off I put in pictures of the boys and their teachers that I had taken earlier. This was my finished project.
Here is a closer picture of each frame.
(Please ignore the fact that I cannot take a straight picture.)
I am so thankful for all the work and effort these fabulous ladies put in this year for my boys. They are so much better off after having them as teachers. Thank you Mrs. Gale and Mrs. Parks for a great year!!
