Quick Picture Frame

A friend of mine who loves to cross stitch told me about a really quick picture frame project she did and I thought I would pass it along to everyone. Now don't blink or you might miss it, it's that quick and easy to do ; )

First you have to cut a picture frame shape out of perforated plastic. You can make it any size you want. Then find a small design like a sunflower, snowman, planet or butterfly and stitch it in the corner. Fill in the rest of the frame background with black cross stitches (or any other color thats dark) and then add contrasting french knots all around. Add your picture and thats all there is to it. Quick and easy.

My friend has made these in all different sizes and alot of different colors. She also added magnets to the backs of some and has them hanging on her fridge and filing cabinet. Use your imagination and have fun!
