      Great idea!! I was thinking that too, but I don't have enough dried flowers.

    Hi! I would put some dried flowers in the hinged picture frames. I think that would be amazing to see.

    Loved these frames. That green one with the ferns is perfect for spring, but like you, my favorite is the last one. I just love what you did. Some other items could be postage stamps, buttons, old jewelry, photos, sea glass, fabric flowers, lace, rubber stamped images, heart-shaped rocks, bird eggs, timy wreaths, nests, arrow heads, or miniature items from the store. I love to knit, so I would make the background different swatches of knit patterns. I am on the lookout for a frame like this. Thank you for the inspiration!!

    I was glad to see this video as I've got plenty of frames I picked up at my senior center. I love all these transformations with the frames. I love the one with 3 panels. If I were to do it 4 myself I'd put some lavender sprigs and vintage buttons. Or a different herb in each square. I enjoyed this DIY and thank you 4 sharing.

    On the tri-fold frame, I think it would look nice with velum on the back and put a candle behind.

    • @creartivebynature

    Beautiful projects. I was recently on vacation in California and found birch bark ribbon
    at Dollar Tree. It is a great dupe if you do not have the real thing in your area. Nancy

    • @creartivebynature
      @creartivebynature  Рік тому

      Oh that's awesome. I have seen people haul that ribbon, but haven't seen it at my DT. I'm thinking of going to a different DT, they seem to get the newer stuff, it's a smaller store too 🤷‍♀️

    Love the hinged frame! As you were creating your beautiful project I was thinking Christmas cross stitch smalls would look really cute in the "windows." I am going to be on the lookout for that type of frame.

    Donna, I absolutely love how you distressed the frame with plastic wrap! It looked so cool. I like those specimen cards!! Thanks for letting us know about them! I think my idea would be dried flowers in the little multi-frame piece. That would be so cute. I love your idea of using the specimen cards, birch bark, antler, etc. too! I wish I could find a mini frame like that. I'll be on the hunt. Thank you Donna for these wonderful projects, as always. You are so creative with natural elements!!!

    I loved the ferns in the tiny openings. Rather than cover them with specimens, I think I would glue them to the wood--branches on the bottom rail, lichen in the top left corner, the butterfly folded slightly and attached at the top right outside corner, a silk fern in the center one or two and some moss on some of the bottom edges.
    If it were my project, I would probably find rose floral paper and add tiny silk roses as specimens in the center or on the edges.

    I would cut out some of the backing squares off the little frames painted the mini frames with some glitter paint and put a tea light candle behind it....

    I love the use of natural items. Where did you find the butterfly for the shadowbox?

    • @creartivebynature
      @creartivebynature  Рік тому +1

      Thanks so much 💖 I got the butterflies at my local dollar store, but I have seen some at Dollar Tree before as well. It's hit and miss though. You could find a butterfly image and back it with sturdy card stock. I've used magazines, Nature books or found images online. Hope that helps.
      Thanks for watching 💖 🤗

    Why can’t you put the glass back in on the shadow box? It didn’t look like everything was too high. It would keep dust out.

    • @creartivebynature
      @creartivebynature  Рік тому +1

      You can if you'd like, but I didn't want the glare from the glass 😉 Sorry I didn't mention that!
