Day 8--Reminder/Note frame

Many ideas pinned on Pinterest end up being just pictures, with no link to tutorials or blogs.  This is one of those ideas.

I have pinned a couple of different reminder frame ideas.  Here is the one I made today. 

Now I can make notes on it with a dry eraser marker...as soon as I figure out where I want to put it.

I took an 8x10 frame I already had & put a piece of notebook paper in it.  Easy enough, right? But I needed to dress it up!

I found a picture on Pinterest of flowers made out of felt, but it wasn't a link to how to make them. So I had to create them myself.  If you want to see the picture, click here to view my "Craft Ideas" board. 

(It's a long picture with several examples.)

I started by cutting squares out of felt.  Some are 2.5 inches square, the others are 3.5 inches. I just eyeballed it & cut. You could really cut them any size.

Next I folded a square in half...

Then pinched in the other sides.

Looks like a flower, right??  Put a glob of hot glue down in the center, then place a bead in the middle of the flower.

Cute, right?  Too easy!

Then I just arranged & glued on the frame.  If the frame had had fatter edges, I would have kept the flowers on the frame. My frame is skinny, so I glued some right on to the glass.  I used hot glue, so if I ever want to remove them, they will easily come off.

Here is a close up of the flowers on the frame.

You could easily print a saying on the top of your paper--"Don't Forget" or "Grocery List" or "I Love you because..."

These would be easy to change & personalize for whatever you want to use the frame for. 

Here is an example of a frame I pinned for this idea.

Its link leads you to craftgawker.com. It's another great, Pinterest type, idea page.  Many ideas, just not a direct link to this particular one.

I also liked this idea. Might do this for the kids soon. After we are finished with the hearts from Valentine's Day.

Point is, there are lots of ideas out there! Just take them and make them your own!!
