Felt Photo Frame


Today, I'm going to post about my newly done project - magnet felt photo frame. I have always wanted to try this and am so happy with the outcome  (^_^) that i make another one right after i finished the first one. Here's how i make them...


 1. Cut 2 pieces of felt - according to the size of your photo. My photo was an A4 size so i added
     another 1 inch around the photo as the frame border.
 2. Then on 1 piece cut out the middle part slightly smaller than the photo so that the photo will
     stay put. This will be the front piece.
 3. Using craft glue, i glued a transparent cover (can be found at any bookstore ) onto the front
     piece. ( Notice that the hole is slightly smaller than the A4 transparent cover )



4. When the glue had dried, put the front and back piece together ( the side showing the glue face
    inside ) and sew the sides as shown by the yellow dotted lines. This is to ensure that the photo
    will stay in place. Sew up the other 2 sides but only on the front piece so you will have an
    opening to insert the photo later.



5. Next is the fun part - assemble the little designs that you want! I've cut out pieces of felt
    to make a bus, plane, hot air balloon, trees, heart shapes and little clouds. Sew them on the front
    piece. Lastly, sew up all sides except your opening to insert the photo of course and glue some
    magnets to the back.





This is how it look like when done.



I also did a flower one with a little bee and ladybug as shown below.




Loved them! ^.^
