What you’ll need:
|
Instructions:
| STEP 1 | |
|
Begin by making the clay elements as they will require time to dry – overnight is best. Make leaves and flowers using the Stitched Pretty Petals and Stitched Leaves moulds together with the Hearty Soft White clay. |
|
| STEP 2 | |
|
Once dry, spray all your elements with gloss spray. Shabneez sprayed in a box as it can be a little messy! Add a dot of yellow to the flower centres by opening up the with spray applicator and using it as to dab it on. Leave to air dry – it doesn’t take very long. |
 |
| STEP 3 | |
|
Take the medium size Tangled Flower MDF shape and stick on to a sheet of paper from the Cats & Dogs Paper Craft Pad. Use a craft knife or fine tip scissors to cut away the excess paper. Repeat the process with the smallest Tangled Flower MDF shape. |
 |
| STEP 4 | |
|
Fussy cut images from the Cats & Dogs Paper Craft Pad, arrange them where you want and stick them with foam pads to give some height. |
 |
| STEP 5 | |
|
Use a hot glue gun to stick one frame to the other and adhere the flowers and leaves. |
 |
| STEP 6 | |
|
To make the stand for the frame, take a sheet of thick cream card 21cm x 10cm. Score at 1.5cm, 8cm, 10cm, 12cm and 19cm along the long side. |
|
| STEP 7 | |
|
Fold the centre of the card into a valley, mountain then valley fold. |
|
| STEP 8 | |
|
Stick the stand on the back of your frame with a hot glue gun and fold the score lines. |
 |
And there you go, a finished frame featuring the most adorable little dog! Make sure to share your creations on our Facebook group, we'd love to see your own makes using our new craft pad!
