A hand made photo frame for my surfer bf
My bf loves to surf at the beach all the time. So that is how I came up with the idea of a beach scenery photo frame. I made the swans out of origami paper, folding them into little triangles and stacked them together.
I also made the plastic case myself. I cut the plastics at my school's plastic shop and glued them together using the liquid bond.
The top of the case can be removed so the photo inside can be changed. I glued sea shells and sand on the bottom of the case and printed a photo of a nice beach scenery on a transparent paper for the back of the case, so that light will shine through.
