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

Hmm I have a ton of inchies from a swap I was in years ago that I haven't ever done anything with...
ReplyDeleteWell a 5x7 frame would hold 24 inchies comfortably, maybe a just a small dent in your collection heheee.
DeleteWOW, Kay this is a great idea! Love the inchies and all the fun little trinkets you used!
ReplyDeleteoh, my holy madness, how i LOVE this project! i've always been a fan of inchies - in fact, i think i was introduced to them through a challenge/swap on the Club Scrap website back in 2007! Great idea, Kay!
ReplyDeleteby the way, there are some great pictures of inchies and inchie projects on the Club Scrap Galleria - just search for "inchies"!

ReplyDeleteI 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. . .
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun project, Kay!
ReplyDeletelove the project!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so darling! I'd never heard of inchies! where have I been anyway??? love this idea and went to Pinterest boards and wow, there are so many great ideas. I just have to do it now!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat a great frame, Kay! I haven't made inchies in forever! will have to add those to my 'must do' list - although I just never seem to get to that list very often anymore! But someday soon, I hope! Thanks so much for sharing your amazing talent with us!!!
