I thought about it for a while, googled it, bounced some ideas off my designer friend (she's got the 'educated' eye that helps me polish a lot of my projects... she has a degree in design and construction!). I decided to make them into a sort of picture frame for my family and a friend.
I did my Mom's first, but went all out and bought some Mod Podge. I SO wish I had done it sooner, because oh-my-gosh. It is SO different then using just white glue. I might have a new love. (sorry Pave!)
I asked her where she might hang something 'crafty that contains pictures, that will be about 2' x 2.5'. She decided to put it in her scrapbooking room, so I was allowed to get a little more 'funky' with my paper choices then if were in my parents 'main' living areas.
This is it head on, I put a different paper in each pane.
(trying to get one without the glare)
Our camera sucks, but you can sorta see where I roughed it up, there was blue paint underneath the white, which came out on the ridges.
I *love* the hinge on the top...
I'm going to do something with magnets (the round black dot), either put a flower on it, or decoupage scrapbooking paper on them or something.
Oh, and I have another one that I'm doing for my next door neighbor, so whatever great ideal you all come up with, I'm probably going to do it for her too!
So flippin' cute!
