A DIY craft idea

Box frames are a fun and different craft to give ago. Whether you want to show love for a fandom or focus on a place. These versatile projects have tons of potential.

Box Frames

Here I have been experimenting with something new-box frames. It is a layered picture in a box frame, complete with glitter and sequins.

How to make box frames

What you need to create a box frame

• A box frame
• A picture such as a postcard, photo or wrapping paper thats big enough to go across the back
• Imagery for layering
• Small items to put in the frame
• Sequins and/or glitter
• Glue and 3d sticky foam 
• Items to decorate the frame, some can be painted otherwise stickers, pens, glitter and glue

Ideas for box frames

• Colour themed to a room
• For a particular celebration like a wedding anniversary or 18th birthday with appropriate photo
• A favourite film or show
• A memorable location or holiday

Be More Minion box frame

 I used Minion Wrapping paper which I stuck to the paper insert of the frame. Then I accented with several Minion images, collected from packaging/calender’s etc. To add depth I attached these with sticky foam and edged them in glitter. 

I then selected some coordinating coloured sequins and found some Minion shaped sequins from a party supply shop, popped a selection of those in the frame and then sealed the back with hot glue to prevent escapees. 

Finally I decorated the outside of the frame with letters and glitter!

These projects could work for other ideas too. For example a travel postcard with items and sequins related to the country. Perhaps the colours of its flag or the colours you associate with it. 

I think we could all take some great life advice from the Minions and be more bold. What do you think of the little banana loving Minions? Let us know in the comments below!
