Hello, everyone! Today I'm sharing a
kinda creepy project I made using a 5x7 photo frame that had the
glass broken years ago. It's been sitting in a closet waiting for me
to go buy a new pane of glass. Apparently, that's never
gonna happen so I repurposed it for something crafty. Let me take
you through how it was made.
Here's what I started with. A GSL 6 Panel Rectangular Window, one of the GSL Wrought Iron Miniatures,
some Black Creepy Critters Set silhouettes and the lid of a GSL 2.4 Inch Suitcase, which was the perfect size for this project!
Along with the chipboard items, I
cut a piece of cardboard to fit the frame, selected a nice brick
scrapbook paper from Paper Pizazz, cut a popsicle stick down to
window box size and found a sinister image in my Zombie Tarot deck –
the page of swords.
I assembled the suitcase lid using
tacky glue. Once set, I painted he interior walls in a deep brown
acrylic paint. I made a color copy of the tarot card and cut it to
fit inside the suitcase lid.
I glued the brick paper to the
cardboard. Once the glue was dry, I marked the location on the wall
that I wanted the recessed window to be with removable painter's tape
then cut the opening with an X-Acto knife.
The window was painted in an off white
acrylic paint, while the wrought iron fence and window box popsicle
stick were painted black.
To finish off the window box, I
selected two dollhouse bricks as spacers. Those were painted black
and glued in place.
Time to assemble! The suitcase lid was
glued in place behind the opening while the window was glued on top.
I added some small greenery inside the window box before gluing that
in place.
The final touches were small flowers
for the window box and some fun silhouettes from the GSL Black Creepy
Critters Set.
Thanks for stopping by!
