DIY leftovers LOVE frames

shells, buttons, fake flowers, scrapbooking paper … anything you can find in a crafter's drawer can be easily turned into a fun decoration for an empty wall 



What do I need?

4 picture frames
4 sheets of two-sided scrapbook paper
4 mini wooden pegs
drawing pins
hemp cord
glue gun or silicon
fake flowers, buttons, shells, coins or any other small objects you might want to use for your project

What do I do?

First, wrap the frames in scrapbook paper using drawing pins to fix it at the back. This way you spread it like canvas and you can make adjustments or even recycle the materials in the future. I chose to use both sides of the paper, making two checked and two heart-print frames.

Then, use each frame to place the buttons, shells etc. in the forms of letters L O V E.
Take your time to experiment with sizes and colours before you glue your 'leftovers' to the paper with silicon or hot glue. It's a good idea to attach hemp cord to top corners of the frame before you glue your letters, this way you won't damage them when pressing in the drawing pins.

Once your four pictures are ready, hang them using wooden pegs on a spread hemp cord. Enjoy!
