Quilled and Punchcraft DIY Photoframe

Homemade photo frame
Sharing a homemade photo frame made from recycled cardboard. In keeping with the season I decorated the photoframe in the typical Christmas colors of red and green with a background of white.
Punchcraft Flowers
The large rose was made from a 5 petal punch using this tutorial.Punchcraft Flower Tutorial
Punchcraft Flowers
The smaller roses are also punchcraft flowers made using a 6 petal flower punch.
Tip- to add additional dimension I angled the flowers and leaves while sticking them to the corrugated card base.You can use normal white glue but it takes ages to dry and using a glue gun here makes it easy and fast.
Punchcraft Flowers
I quilled various kinds of leaves for my punchcraft roses.The quilling in this project is entirely hand looped!Somehow I seem to enjoy hand looping rather than using quilling tools!
Quilled Leaves
Photoframes such as these are easy to make ,make lovely gifts and are ideal to recycle those cardboard pieces we all have at home.Here is the link to how to make this easy DIY photoframe : Homemade Photoframe Instructions
