This crafting project will add a
beautiful touch to any wall in the room. Instead of placing your picture
frames on shelves and tables, why not free up some space and hang them! No,
not like you usually would-using the provided holes in the back of the frame-
but with a splash of creativity! This craft will instruct you how to hang
any frame with style. All you’ll need: Ribbon in your choice of colors,
design, and width To Get Started: 1). Remove the back and the
glass from the frame. 2). Decide on how much your
ribbon you want to show while the frame is hanging-as well as how low you want
the frame to hang. Cut that length of ribbon. 3). Put a small dab of glue
at each corner of the frame and place the edges of the ribbon into the glue
one side at a time. This will ensure that your ribbon remains in place
while you are securing it with nails. 4). Nail a small nail or
tack into each of the corners. 5). Decorate the ribbon by
adding a bow to the top (where it will be hanging from the nail in the wall)
or at the side of the frame. To place a bow securely at the top of the
ribbon you may want to secure it with a small piece of crafting wire and cover
the wire with the ribbon to ensure that the bow won’t move. Type out a saying or inspirational
quote, frame it, and hang it. Use the frame as a door hanger.
Little girls will especially love a frilly pink bow on sign that says:
“Knock” or “My Room”. Make a sign for your child’s
bedroom door with their name. Some suggestions for your
hanging frame: Secure extra decorative ribbon to
a plain wooden frame. Use the hanging frames to dress up
a kitchen or bathroom wall. Combine this craft and
another-such as a flowered photo frame-for an extra unique finished product. © Rubyglen.com
