1. Get a piece of cardboard. Measure the photo that you want to frame. Cut out the inner part of the cardboard around 5cm smaller than the photo that you measured. Get bits and pieces of junk from your house. Used up pens, beads, buttons.....anything small; the idea is to create and uneven surface on the board. Then tape all of those pieces on the cardboard.
2. Get old newspaper and tear them into pieces. Get PVA glue (normal glue is ok but PVA is much easier to use) and an big old paintbrush. Brush the glue on the paper and stick in on the cardboard. Do this over and over again and make sure that every part the of card board is covered with newspaper. Lay this aside for at least an overnight.
3. Now you will be able to see that the cardboard is nice and hard. Get your favorite colour. Mine is black so paint in all over the cardboard.
4. This is my favorite part. Get colours contrasting with your base colour. Make sure that the paint is not watery and really thick. Then just glaze it over. If you like it simple, one colour will do but I like mine colourful. So.....
.....And there you have it.....You're very own photo frame....haha.....
