If you want to make a loved one happy, photos are always the most popular gifts! So why not take the opportunity to customise one of your old photo frames? Imitation wood, marble, stone, colour or glitter as in our example: let your creativity speak for itself!
For this project, you will need :
Step 1:
Start by removing the glass from the photo frame, then lay the frame flat on top of your piece of Luminis Films
Step 2:
Trace the outline of the frame with a pencil, then, using a ruler, make several small dots around the frame, about 2-3 centimetres from the edge: this will define a margin that will be used for the frame flaps.
Step 3:
Cut the whole thing out following your little dots, then peel the protective liner off the adhesive.
Step 4:
When flat, centre your frame and place it directly on the adhesive side of the covering and keep pressure on it so that the frame sticks well.
Step 5:
Now you need to fold the edges in (using the previously defined margin). To do this, press the sides well to ensure that the decorative coating adheres, and then proceed to the corners. We recommend that you cut the adhesive at an angle with a cutter.
Step 6:
Once all the edges are done, all you have to do is cut out the central part with a cutter, taking care to place a piece of cardboard under the frame.
That's it! Now it's up to you to find your best picture and to offer your frame: success guaranteed!
