Simple DIY Frame Matting

We learned a ton from the process, especially the important of adding interesting, inexpensive art. For one project she spray painted two empty wooden frames I had laying around and adding DIY backing. The frame matting is made from a paper bag! How clever is that? Pin or tape a small picture to the front for instant dimensional art. I finally got around to giving the technique a try for a message board.

Supplies needed:

Brown paper bag or packing paper

Piece of foam board (if you do a large piece you will probably have enough extra for a few smaller frames)

Mod podge

Brush

Frame

Exacto knife

Instructions

If using a bag, first tear it into one flat piece. Then crumple and wad it into a ball over and over to get small creases all over the paper.

Spread a layer of mod podge on the foam board and lay the paper on top. Apply more mod podge over the top of the crinkled paper. Let it dry completely and add more mod podge if needed.

Use the frame or the frame back to trace the size needed. Use an Exacto knife to cut out the shape. If your frame doesn’t have any backing with it (or you removed it) then duct tape the foam board to the frame on the back side.

Remove the glass to use the frame as a 3-dimensional picture. I tacked on these Christmas photo ornaments that were too cute to pack away.
