I chose Natalie Wood (one of my favorite Hollywood actresses) and the entire project was very easy and took about an hour to complete. Check it out, I am so pleased with the results.
Here's how to make your own. I started with 4 empty picture frames and removed the wood back and matting. I then glued down burlap fabric directly to the frame board using regular spray mount glue. I used burplap because I had the scrap fabric left over from a previous project and I wanted the art to have a vintage look. Plus the burlap makes me think of an old dressmakers form.
While I let those dry thoroughly I cut out the paper outfits and doll I wanted to use for the series of four. This was the most time consuming party because I was very maticulous about my cuts.
I then did a dry fit of cutouts to ensure proper symmetry within the matted area before gluing.
I also made labels that I printed off regular printing paper and used tiny fabic pins to enhance the overall look.
When I was ready to glue everything down I used a regular old glue stick to secure everything. Then I popped each board back into the frames and there you have it. Chic on the cheap art for your child's room.
