Photo Fruzzle Puzzle Frames : Maple Leaf
Designed by Mary Ayres |
| Unique and playfully designed, these puzzle photo frames offer endless possibilities for creative fun. The sky is the limit when selecting color, style and texture for paper backgrounds (perfect for leftover scraps), or you don’t have to use paper at all… stamping ink or paint are acceptable alternatives. Embellish with tags, buttons, decorative fibers or die-cuts as shown, or decorate as desired. |

Cut rectangles around the words, leaving more space on the left side and trimming the left corners to create a tag shape. Rub all around the tag edges with the luster rub-ons. Use the sewing needle and metallic thread to attach a button to each tag as shown. Tie the thread into a knot in front, trim ends, and separate strands. Use the foam squares to adhere the tags onto the frame, referring to project photo for placement. |

Punch holes in each corner of the journaled rectangle and insert a brad into each hole. Punch a hole in the left side of the tag and insert the eyelet. Insert the length of cord through the eyelet and wrap several times around the stem as shown in the project photo. Tie ends into a bow and trim ends even. Insert photo into the back of completed frame. |
