As I've been sharing, John and I are trying to fill out our re-hung gallery wall (it will be revealed this week, I promise!) and I thought I'd see how well styrofoam worked as a homemade frame.
I love the way this frame turned out: it's rustic, imperfect, and beautiful in my mind. I took some recycled wrapping paper and mod podged it onto the styrofoam circle, then cut out of cardstock a mat and framed a printed out picture of a bird. I love it.
Here's another frame I made - this time I tried paper maching it to add strength and texture. It only needed one layer of paper mache and it became much stronger. Add some paint and voila!
Stay tuned for a few more styrofoam upcycling projects! I'm a little in love with this cheap, light-weight material that does not belong in a landfill and cost me absolutely nothing.
Check out the Into Our Linky Parties button to see where I'm linking up, like at Today's Creative Blog .
Yeay for upcycling! They turned out great I haven't played with paper mache for so long..bring back fun memories!
