I do know, glitter is kind of controversial as a result of it’s that one craft present that manages to linger with out finish even after you assume you cleaned all of it up. Ha. Nonetheless I can’t help it, I adore it.

For this enterprise, we’re working with Canon USA. I used my PIXMA TS9521C to print my images. One issue I actually like about this printer is it can in all probability print a bunch of varied sizes, along with 12×12 amongst others. So I printed 4 4×6 images that I wished at one time.

I’m pretty obsessive about this printer often (for every crafting and printing high-quality images at dwelling). That’s the printer I make the most of basically essentially the most.

Nonetheless, this enterprise isn’t about group. It’s about GLITTER. Ha. Nonetheless for precise, these little {photograph} frames are sooooo easy to make. When you possibly can sew a straight line, you can too make these.

I’ll make clear how nevertheless I do assume since they’re constructed from clear vinyl it could be a bit of adverse to see and understand from images and textual content material, so we’ve moreover made a little bit of video so that you could watch.

These are so cute on a fridge or any magnetic ground. And I consider these would make a extraordinarily cute handmade reward for a mother or grandmother … notably if she likes glitter. 🙂

Supplies:
-glitter
-scissors
-sticker magnet
-3 gadgets of clear vinyl
-printer + images
-sewing machine + thread

I wanted my frames to hold a 4×6 {photograph}, so I scale back my gadgets of vinyl to be 5×7 so there may be some seam allowance. You’ll be able to create all varieties of numerous sizes though—merely scale back your vinyl a minimal of an inch or two bigger than the final word measurement you want.

Proper right here is how one could make the frames:

Step Two: Sew collectively two gadgets of vinyl alongside one aspect. Then sew the third piece of vinyl on excessive alongside two sides.

*Bear in mind: Vinyl is a sort of provides that is kind of adverse to work with. I would recommend using a non-stick stitching foot or together with matte tape (like washi or scotch tape) to the underside of your stitching foot.

I moreover laid a extremely skinny piece of cotton material beneath my vinyl as I ran it by my machine.

The intention proper right here is to hunt out strategies to ensure the vinyl doesn’t comply with your stitching foot or machine as you sew. You may additionally wish to regulate your rigidity barely, relying the place you are starting from.

I would merely check out sew a piece of further or scrap vinyl first so you’ll actually really feel assured sooner than you begin.

Step Three: Add glitter to the outer pocket, between two layers of the vinyl. Then sew up the final word aspect. Trim any unfastened threads.

Step 4: Add a sticker magnet to the once more then slip your {photograph} inside and in addition you’re good to go!

I used an adhesive magnet sheet that I merely scale back into small squares to work with my enterprise. Nonetheless, any kind of sticker magnet that matches your physique will work.

I added some images from Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas to my frames. Glad to have these reminiscences hanging on my fridge the place I can see them frequently. Makes me glad.

Thanks for letting me share! xo. Emma
