Make a wedding present: Picture frame

Step 1: Prepare the picture frame

Start by painting the picture frame white. Allow the paint to dry. Meanwhile, cut the tissue paper to 15 x 15 cm to fit into the inner square of the frame.

Once the paint has dried, glue the tissue paper into the frame. Use decoupage lacquer and spread it with a brush from the center outward. Alternatively, you can use craft glue, adhering the tissue paper at the edges and in the center.

Step 2: Craft the figures

Draw the necessary elements for the figures on the patterned paper and cut them out. The figures should fit the image, including outstretched arms, and be about 10 cm tall.

Decorate the paper elements with a marker. Then cut three pieces of paper wire that can outline hats, dresses, and suits. Bend the wire to follow the contours of the paper pieces. For the heads, twist a loop in the middle of the longer wire pieces.

Attach the paper wire to the paper elements with minimal amounts of hot glue. If you prefer craft glue, fix the wire during drying with clamps. Then add other wire elements like hair, flower stems, and arms. Roll the ends for the hair slightly and attach flowers to the wire with glue.

Glue the woman's hair and a large flower onto the head, and attach the man's bow tie to the neck and the hat.

Finally, arrange the figures so they can embrace each other and glue them together at the arms and back for better stability.

Step 3: Complete the picture

Glue the crafted figures onto the frame. If needed, adjust the wire one last time. To finish, attach roses or other decorations to the frame. The completed wedding picture is a unique, personal gift!
