Name Frame

Here is the frame I mentioned last week in the post about removing glass that is hot glued in.  I do not recommend trying it!!!!  It is there to stay.  I used Times New Roman for the last name, and Tabitha for the first names.

This is the first one I made, (below)the one I tried to take apart.  I thought the name was too small, and I centered the name and est. as one object.  I wasn't satisfied with how it looked.  I re-did it and made Hill larger and centered that, and just put est. in the empty space below.

This is how the frame looks with the hot glue holding the frame in.  A mess, I know!!!!  I cover the glue with ribbon if it is a gift.  I won't be putting a continuous bead of glue anymore either.  After this experience, I will just put globs in the four corners, and maybe in the center of each edge.

Here I managed to remove a small section of the glue.  It was no easy task!  The hot glue holds very securely!!!!

Vinyl Floating Frame

I saw this on a vinyl website and decided to make my own version, since I seldom pay for files.  I knew I recognized the font, but could not find it.  I finally realized it was one I had (aquarelle) with the fancy parts removed!  Then I spent the next hour creating the flourish.  Sometimes I drive myself nuts!  It would have been quick and simple to just use a different one, but I had a particular look in mind. Oh well- It's only time!!! :0)  It is a glass frame.  I put white paper behind it so it would photograph better.
