Miniature Frames and Paintings Tutorial

 Good day all!  Here are some easy picture frames made from cardboard, cereal boxes and hot glue.  Oh and also craft paint.  Hope you like them!

My roses are just swirls and swishes of several shades of paint.  I think they turn out well.

Trace your picture or painting onto cardboard then cut the edges to the size that you want.

I marked the areas of the frame that I wanted to cut out.

After they are all cut out I glue the frame to cereal boxes and put a book on them for a little bit.

Frames ready for glue.

I use hot glue to seal the edges and add dimension.  I use the hot nozzle of the glue gun to melt glue into the cracks and to smash glue blobs.

Hot glued frames ready for painting!

It's hard to show the painting process.  Mainly because my hands get covered in paint lol

I saved the cut outs and put them on the paintings to help them adhere in the frames.

I love these hydrangeas!

Which one is the mini painting??  This is the page from a magazine that inspired me to paint all of these yesterday.  Plus my little dollhouse needed some floral cheer!

This is an old rose picture in our house.  My tiny roses turned out brighter pink but I think it's a close resemblance.
