Christmas Gift - Book Lovers'

Things needed :

Cardboard - used in cereal box

Glue

Transparent Acrylic sheet
Printing paper.
Printer

Book of your choice

Frame hanging hooks
Acrylic Colours

Method :

1) Cut 2 pieces of cardboard of size 8.3x12 inches. One piece of which will be used for backside. (Piece 1 and piece 2)
2) Take the piece 1, mark 5 cm from all the edges and cut in a frame like shown:
3) Colour the frame with a colour you want. (I used black)
4) Using glue, stick acrylic sheet to the back of this frame.
5) Print a page or cover from your the book of your choice and stick it on piece 2. While printing take in mind that the printed area should be lesser than 8.3 x 12 inches so that there is some space left between the edges of the frame and the text on the page.
5) Stick the frame to piece 1. and your frame is ready.
6) To hang the picture frame, attach hooks on the back of picture frame using either glue or Sellotape. Make many such frame and you can either decorate your room or give them as gifts to your loved ones.



Tips :

1) To make the frame more stiff, cover the frame and back with few layers of newspaper pieces and mixture of glue and water (equal parts) before colouring.
2) Use glitter, artificial flowers, small sea shells for more decorative look.
3) Instead of print out of a book, you can also print photos of your choice.
