The How
- Use your scissors or Silhouette cutting machine to cut out the frame pieces on the bristol paper
- There should be a square, 2 U shapes and 1 square frame
- Stack and glue the 2 U shapes onto the square so that the bottoms of the U shapes are aligned with the bottom of the square
- Now glue the frame onto to the top U shape (also with the bottoms aligned)
- Crop your picture to size and slide it in your frame
Finally, you can display your pretty pictures with these memo clips that will sit nicely on desks or shelves. So, will you make these as gifts or keep them for yourselves? Tell me in the comments below.
