She's Crafty
Yes it's more than just a Beastie Boys song....it's what my kids have been saying for the past several months. I've been going nuts making things with pictures, paint and modge podge. Simple, yet fun and great way to spend a day or two. First, I would paint a canvas whatever color/design I wanted the 'picture frame' to be. It usually took two coats depending on the colors used. After the painted has dried, I would use super glue to secure the pictures. I've found it extremely important to put the glue around the outside of the picture and be very careful when placing the pic on the canvas. After an hour of applying the super glue, I would start my first coat of modge podge. I usually do 3 coats. Then WALLA! A fun little photo plaque or a fun picture frame. Perfect for a gift or a cheap piece of home decor for a rec room or kids room. Hey, if it's perfect, use it in your living room.
PS. sorry for the crappy cell phone pics. I promise to try my hardest not to do it again :)
