More Cardboard Picture Frames

We added a couple more cardboard frames for our summer pictures. The "tiled" look is actually
painted to look like old painted wood pieced inside a frame. To create this look, figure out the size of
your frame, cut out the opening for your picture, then figure out what width and depth your tiles will
be. We used 1 inch widths, by 2 inches. After painting your colors, paint brown in between the "tiles" with a fine point paint brush. When the paint has dried, dip a fan paint brush in brown paint, wipe off
any excess and lightly go over certain areas, to create an aged look.


If you prefer a more formal look, you may purchase white picture frames with glass, 
with a small one half inch frame border first, so that you can place your cardboard frames
inside.

This is a great project for kids of all ages.
