Finishing
- Glue “O” Backing to the center of the “O” frame, placing a thin line of glue 3/4 of the way around the outer edge of round 5.
- Cut 1 – 4 1/2″ piece of ribbon. Place a line of hot glue down the entire length of the ribbon, fold it in half over the center of the wooden dowel, and press the ends together.
- Cut 2 – 8″ pieces of ribbon. Place a line of glue down the 1st 2″ only, wrap over the wooden dowel, 4″ from the center ribbon, and press together. Place one on each side of the center ribbon.
- Cut 2 – 20″ pieces of ribbon. Glue ribbon to the “legs” of one “M” (one piece of ribbon on each side). Line up the “O” approximately 2″ down from the bottom of the first “M” and glue in place. Place the 2nd “M” approximately 2″ down from the “O” and glue in place.
- Glue florals in desired locations on ribbon.
- Tip: Cut ribbons pieces longer to have extra space to clip photos!
- Glue the center of the top “M” to the center ribbon piece.
- Cut 2 – 18″ pieces of yarn. Tie around the wooden dowel, one end on each side of outer ribbon pieces.
- Hide all strings.
- Insert photo in frame and pin photos to the bare ribbon. Note: I used a 2 1/2″ circle paper punch and this was the perfect photo size.
