DIY/Birthday frame

Sending gifts to people makes just not the receiver happy, it makes me feel happy knowing that I just put a smile on someone's face. The moment we send gifts, it means we care about them. I love children and that's why I learned how to make some crafts, it fascinates them and the smile on their faces when they get gifts is always priceless.

Someone once told me that I am too childish, she said everything about me is too childish because she saw some craft I did for my sister's children on my phone. I love being childish and as long as being in that state makes me happy, I want to remain a child forever.

Enough of all the talk let's get into the business. Today, one of my neighbor's daughter is celebrating her birthday. I wasn't aware until this morning when I heard the mother singing birthday songs for her, and this is a girl that I love so much so I tried making something beautiful for her.

I made a small frame for her and when I return from work tonight I will get her a gift as well along with the frame, this frame was just to show her that I love her as my playful friend.

The materials are:

Cardboard (pink and white)
Scissors
Brown gum
Pen
Brown paper
Watercolor
Cloth stone

Procedure

Step 1

I cut the white cardboard in a rectangle shape, I also cut the brown paper in the same shape and wrapped the white cardboard around the brown paper. I applied gum to make the two cards stick together.

Step 2

I made use of a pen to draw an envelope shape on the brown paper and then cut it out with scissors. After that, I made use of gum to glue it at the tip of the white cardboard.

Step 3

I made use of a pen to draw love shapes from both cardboard and brown paper. I made use of watercolor to paint some of it because I wanted different colors.

I also cut some small love shapes and a flower shape then painted them as well, and then set them aside to dry.

Step 4

Now they are dry, I made use of the brown gum to glue the love shapes one by one at the opening of the envelope to form a step. I also glued the flower and other small love shapes as well.

I then noticed that the design was not that beautiful so I made use of my old dress stone to beautify it more, I put some stones beside the envelope where a picture can stay.

Then I cut a small band to make the hook at the back that will hold it on the wall.

My neighbor's daughter will love the frame so much when I give it to her with the other gift. Giving someone a gift doesn't mean you have to break the bank, you can give them what you create by yourself and it might turn out to be a priceless gift to them.
