Description

i have a bunch or old magazines that i dont read anymore, and i've always wanted to try "magazine art" haha. so heres my magazine photo frame. i hope you like it =)

Instructions

  1. first you take a piece of card board and cut a hole in the middle just big enough to see your desired picture.

  2. Small bored2 024 1274340316

    then you grab your old magazine and cut a bunch of 3 inch strips.

  3. Small bored2 025 1274340340

    you then grab your stick (i used a kabob stick) and start rolling your strip or magazine onto it. try to get it as tight as possible, but loose enough to be able to pull the stick out.

    as your rolling, dab some glue to help keep the form.

  5. Small bored2 027 1274340377

    gather all of your rolled magazines

  6. Small bored2 019 1274340402

    then cut the ends so that they are nice and flat and straight

  7. Small bored2 020 1274340438

    then place glue onto your cardboard and put your rolled magazine onto it.

  8. Small bored2 023 1274340430

    then cut off the excess! you can certainly measure the rolled magazine, cut then glue, but this was easier for me. =)

  9. Small bored2 018 1274340534

    then you just keep going until your done

  10. Small bored2 032 1274340514

    then taadaahh!! just tape your fav picture to the back and you're set. you can add some string and hang it on your wall, or whatever you like =)

    spray some clear top coat to seal it
