In the frame

We all have these photograph frame/mounts from school photographs lying around the house don't we?




They're not really ideal for displaying your photographs in, but with a little more Glitz Design - Afternoon Muse and some Pretty Aunty Sarah's Bloomers, I managed to tranform my frame into something much more eyecatching.





This was Simple to make;

Cover the frame with a pattern paper, then cover this layer with another layer of your favourite paper, cutting it slightly smaller. I used strips of paper to do this to minimise waste.
I knew I wanted to add stitching to my frame so I decided to have a small gap in each corner, which meant I needed to mitre the corners. I did this by cutting the strips to the size i needed first and then over lapped the corners and cut on a diagonal as indicated below.
