Tweet.. I mean Sweet Frame!

Picture Frame Fabric Fleece Collage Tutorial wow say that 10x fast..


I get tired of sticking my pictures in boring old frames..why not cute it up a little?

Here's what you need:
some felt, embroidery floss, fabric scraps, background paper/cardstock, scissors, fabri-tac, glue stick, beads or buttons (for eyes).

And of course a collage picture frame. I got mine at a garage sale for 50 cents. The only imperfection is the gunk on the bottom left side (no worries we'll take care of that later)

Open up your frame to get the measurements for your mats. I wanted to do 3 mats with the fabric and fleece art.

Cut out the squares you want to work with.

Cut some cute shapes using your felt. I did some clouds here no pattern necessary, use your imagination!

..and decided to stitch them up using embroidery floss.

Now onto the tree no pattern necessary again, just simple shapes.

Now for the bird. Add a patch of fabric for it's wing.

Cut out some leaves out of felt and fabric.

Some glue and of course the eyes you can use beads or buttons as well.

finished bird assemble the leaves and the bird sitting on the leaves. For an added effect I used brown felt to make it look like branches.

Now line up your art.

Put in your pictures and voila!..oh wait we still have that smudgy thing to deal with in the corner (not very attractive).



ooh la la problem solved. Using some yo-yo's, buttons and a cute owl embellishment we got a pretty darn cute picture frame=)
