Re-purposed Frame

Happy Friday, Bloggers!

While doing some cleaning a while back (yes, that occasionally happens in my house), I came across an old 5x7 black frame with nothing inside. I placed it on my "projects that need to happen sometime" shelf in my basement. Then sure enough, I ended up filling it with inchies.


I took the frame apart and filled up the 5x7 space with rubber stamped, inked and embellished 1x1" inches. Then I put the frame back together.


I found that many of my past doodads from the Club Scrap embellishment cups worked well for embellishing.


To display, putting this frame on a little easel or hanging it on the wall would have worked just fine, but then I got the idea to make a stand out of a wooded candle holder from my local craft store. It just needed a little black paint before attaching the frame with bookbinding glue.



Although there was some assembly required, this was pretty easy and fun to make!


Creating inchies is such a fun "little" craft, and it's exciting to see what creative people do with those tiny works of art. Check out this Pinterest link if you care to do more of that.

Have a wonderful holiday weekend, and thanks for stopping by Club Scrap Creates!

    1. Well a 5x7 frame would hold 24 inchies comfortably, maybe a just a small dent in your collection heheee.

  5. I love this project. And yes, we have done inchie swaps at CS. I think I might have hosted one of them - it was a rainbow inchie swap. We might have a travel themed one also. Maybe it is time for another. . .
