I do hate with a passion of the fires of hell dread Monday mornings. I have usually enjoyed the weekend spent with my family so much I just hate to see it end. The only thing I don't hate about Monday morning is visiting Susan at Between Naps on the Porch for Metamorphosis Monday. It is a great way to chase the "Ick....it's Monday" feeling right out of the room. Yesterday I finished some framing I had wanted to get done. I didn't frame the photos in any traditional way. I used glass, scrapbook paper, Mod Podge and ribbon.
I took 2 sizes of glass. One is 5x7 and the other is just bigger than that.....like 6x8. I cut a piece of ribbon and some scrapbook paper. I Mod Podged the paper to the front of the bigger piece of glass and let it dry. (I did that for one. For the rest I just skipped the scrapbook paper and went straight for the glue.)
Then I glued the ribbon to the front of the bigger glass and put glue on the back of the 5x7 piece of glass and squished them together. I put some books on this and left it for a while.
Then I came back and Mod Podged the picture to the front of the 5x7 glass and put Mod Podge to the front of the picture too. It dries fairly quickly.
Then you have a beautiful family picture (or any other photo) that you can hang on the wall.
Here is the one with the scrapbook paper. I also used bigger ribbon.
Then I took this piece of mdf with a ribbon attached to it that I bought at the dollar store. So many uses for this thing. I think I will go back later today and get a couple more.
I Mod Podged some scrapbook paper to this and found some stickers from my stash and went to work. I glued the photo down (with what else.....Mod Podge) and put a thick layer over all of it. I think that I will go back and cut off the ribbon and replace it with one I like better.
Quite the metamorphosis if I do say so myself. Easy as pie....if you're into that sort of thing.
