Halloween picture frame finished just in time!
This is what you need for this project:
I found my frames at Michaels and the wiggle eyes are from Wal-Mart and Michaels.
You will also need black or white paint to coordinate with the wiggle eyes or whatever color you want your background to be; sand paper and paint brushes. Pop out the cardboard center and keep for later to use as a template for your picture size.
Sand the rough edges of your frame and paint it whatever color you choose. Let dry completely.
Start to place your eyes on the frame to see what pattern you would like.
Once you are happy with your design, start gluing the eyes in place. I used Elmer's glue because it's easy to work with and dries clear.
If you are a perfectionist like me, this process will drive you nuts. It's hard to get the eyes perfect and it takes a lot longer than you would think it would.
Maybe that was my fault.
I put glue on the back of each eye and then placed them on the frame but after a while I considered putting glue on an area of the frame and sticking eyes on randomly but I kept going with my original plan.
When I finally finished this project, I decided it was worth it. The great thing about the wiggle eyes is that no matter which way you turn the frame, the black centers move with it so you are not stuck with one direction.
This frame goes perfect with my black and white decorations in my entry way.
I don't know that I'll finish the second frame anytime soon though. Maybe next year.....
