Frame Your Inchies
One artist mentioned that now that she made her inchies...what should she do with them? Well, here's a great idea! Frame them!
First, I looked at the inchies that I made and decided on a color for my DreamBox. Then, I grabbed one of our Inchie DreamBoxes with Doors and painted it with lime green paint. I just dabbed on the paint with a makeup sponge. 3 coats were perfect. Easy peasy!
By the way, any acrylic paint that you have kicking around will work great on our DreamBoxes. I just happened to have this Metal Paint that I bought from Michaels on hand. It works great too!
Next, I attached one of the inchies that I made to the inside the frame with a Glue Dot. And I added some pretty paper to the interior of the doors from our Chixies Royal Purple Birds sheet.
Next, I started thinking about the outside of the DreamBox. I cut out the tiger from my recycled tea box, added a pink halo (from a little garland that I bought in Mexico...wish I could get more of these, sure do love them!) and attached everything with more Glue Dots.
I kept playing and ended up adding another one of my inchies to the front of the doors. I cut it in half and attached it to the doors with Tacky Glue. Then added some pretty rhinestones.
Ta da! I have this sitting by my computer to remind me to try art to refresh myself. : )
I have to say that I'm just in love with these little Inchie DreamBoxes! They're so perfect for framing your inchies and they make awesome gifts for yourself and loved ones! Who doesn't need a bit of happy art by their computer?
You can find the inchies shown here on our Inchie Art Challenge Sheet (available for a limited time only)
