Looking for a change?! Spruce up your photo frames in a snap. Take a photo frame you have had for a while and spruce it up. It can be as easy as using construction paper or even scrapbooking paper. Do you have any holiday paper leftover? Use that too! Still have the Sunday comics – recycle it and place it on a frame.
Gather your items:
• Glossy Mod Podge (orange label)
• A sponge brush
• Sayings, clippings, pictures, charms, etc.
• scissors
• picture frame
You can use any frame and a little modge podge to create a newly decorated and magnificent photo frame.
The goal is to cover your frame with things you like! Or, if you are gifting this, things that person likes.
Coat your object with Mod Podge, then a picture, then press down, smooth out the air bubbles, add more Mod Podge, and you're on your way! Layer it on! You can't use too much. Just make sure you let each layer dry before adding more, or it will stay cloudy (it's clear & glossy when dry).
If you want, add glitter or charms when you are finished. Now you have a present that even the person who has everything cannot resist!
This can be a fun craft project for your children too! However, you may want to provide them with a supply of craft items for them to use. Often children get overwhelmed with their choices and do not know where to start. Help them by providing them with all the materials they can use.
Here is an example of a wonderful Mod Podged frame!

I love to use mod podge in crafting projects as well. This is a great tutorial!
