Wedding Window Frame

There are loads of window frame pictures around, so I decided to jump on the band wagon and create a wedding craft for our home. (The dining room was turquoise when we moved in, pure coincidence!)

1. Get the materials together
- Window frame (I found mine at the flea market - I then found two more in the shed in our garden, they must have been saved after the windows were replaced a few years ago!) 
- Paint and brushes
- Tape
- Photo (Engineer print) 
- Cardboard (for the back of the picture)  
- Little nails
- Hooks and rope (to hang) 

2. Paint the window frame
Tape off the glass, and paint the frame.

2. Get the picture printed and cut to size
Staples does a great engineer print for about $7.29. The image is not as sharp as a photograph, but it still looks great, and is a fraction of the price.

Place the window frame over the print to ensure the print is in the correct place. Then trim half an inch from each of the edges (change according the the depth of the frame). 

3. Attach the picture to the window frame

Use glue or tape. 

I used some left over painting tape. 

4. Back the frame

To avoid the print getting damaged, attach cardboard to the back. 

(I had a tri-fold display board left over from another project, I cut off one of the flaps, and attached it with little nails) 

5. Add the hardware to hang the frame

You can hang the picture how ever you want, I went with eye hook and Sasil rope. We used a sturdy hook to hang the frame as it is heavier than a standard picture frame.
