What you will need to make a recycled mosaic picture frame
- Old CD case
- Jewel glue
- Small items e.g. buttons, screws, embellishments, beads
- Scooby-Do wire
- Photograph (large enough to fit into the CD case)
- Tile grout (colour of your choice)
- Syringe
Read through all the instructions first before starting this craft, there are three processes that need to happen concurrently.
Step 1
Choose your design, this will fit into the middle of the case. Your picture will be placed on top of the design. The design I have chosen is a heart decorated with pink, purple and red embellishments, making this an ideal Valentine's craft.
Step 2
Take your Scooby-do wire and bend it into the shape of your design. I have bent mine into a heart shape For Valentine's Day. Glue the wire in place using jewel glue.
Step 3
Using jewel glue fix your embellishments around the wire shape, taking care to fill all the empty spaces.
Step 4
Once the beads etc. have been glued into place you will need to leave your work to dry.
Step 5
Grout, following the instructions in the Mosaic Mirror article.
