squeeze punch frame Click image to enlarge Fiskateer #1073, Lene Tingberg Hatfield, used the medium sized Comma Comma Chameleon Squeeze Punch to add a little dimension to a rather plain Jane frame. Difficulty rating
Instructions (Print version) 1. Cut strips of patterned paper to fit on the outside edges of your frame using trimmer. I used the pink Mini Floral for this purpose. 2. Punch out lots and lots of shapes using your Squeeze Punch. All different patterns and colors. I used all of the above listed papers, both sides.
3. Start in one corner of your frame by applying some decoupage medium and a punched out shape or two.
4. On top of each shape, as you go along, add a full layer of decoupage medium to adhere the next shape and to cover the entire surface of your project. Make sure to overlap and fill in the whole frame surface. Also make sure to let your punched out shapes hang quite a bit over the edge on the inside as you will be folding these down after doing the whole frame.
5. When entire frame has been covered, fold down the shapes on the inside to “score” them, add decoupage medium underneath and glue down.
6. Cover entire project surface with another layer (or two) of decoupage medium for a more durable surface.
7. Add lace with a ribbon tie and chipboard letters with attached ribbon and lace.
8. Finish off with a rub-on directly to the glass after adding your photo. |
