Simple Felt Fabric

Frames

supplies

Supplies:
Big Shot Sizzix Machine
Sizzix Wavy Frame Die
Kunin Felt
Phoomph
rope from a gift bag handles that I had in my stash.

First I cut four orange rectangles that my frames would fit on.

 Then, I cut my blue and green felt so that it was a little bigger than my die and added Phoomph to the back, only removing one side of the paper.  I ran it through the Big Shot with the die using the cutting pads. (To do it again, I would not cover the full back of the frame, so that when it is placed on the background, the photos could be changed out)

process

Then I had my frame cut outs.

I removed the paper from the Phoomph that was on my orange piece of felt, added my rope to make a hanger and then placed a second piece of orange felt onto the Phoomph.

putting it together

I took a photo of my boys and cut them to a size that would fit within my frame leaving a little of the Phoomph exposed, removed the paper from the back of my frames, stuck the photo on and then applied it to my orange background.

Then I had these cute little frames to hang on the boys bedroom doors!  They could also be made with Christmas colors and be used as Christmas ornaments!  Or a gift for a grandparent!

Hope you like my simple felt frames!

We are gearing up to go to Disney in the fall and I used that as my inspiration for the pendants that I created!

Final with me

The adhesive that I used was Beacon’s Dazzle-Tac Jewelry Glue.

First, I came us with the pendants that I wanted to create.

Using the adhesive, I attached the silver bail to the back of the buttons.   For this pendant, I added two buttons to the front of the big button to make it look like Mickey Mouse!!!

Check out the pendants that I came up with!   Two Mickey Mouse inspired pendants and two simple pendants!   Then I added them to the black cords that were included!
