Each year, I get Steve a bunny-themed wall calendar. At the end of the year, he gives me the old calendar to use for crafting. When I received the new Framed Effects Circle Surface from Plaid, I thought it would be perfect to display a cute spring photo of bunnies. Affiliate links here and below.
This project couldn't be easier. I started by using the frame to determine the cropping for the calendar image, then traced around the outside of the frame with a pen.
I cut just inside the traced line, then used mini Glue Dots to adhere the bottom half of the image to the back of the frame. I chose to use Glue Dots because they're plenty strong to hold the calendar page in place, but still easy to remove when I want to change out the image. Finally, I cut flaps to expose hardware, then added Glue Dots to the top of the image.
In just minutes, I was able to hang my framed calendar page.
Obviously, I could have painted or stained the frame before adding the image. I like it as is. It's actually designed to be used for glass chip crafting, something I haven't tried yet. If you've tried it, let me know what you think and whether I should give it a go.
Good to have an alternative! I usually just make them into cards.
