wanted to try to duplicate those glass frames that
are see thru and have words such as family or a last name. seen them and admired them in mags. this is my first attempt just to see if i could do it.
i got this frame that has a little bit of a lip for a dollar at walmart. ran some sticky strip around the inside to hold the glass in. then cut a piece of acetate to size, put on the rub on, and ran some sticky strip around the edges, put the glass on top, then put it into the frame. i learned some things not to do lol for my next 'real' attempt.

i'm having technical difficulties today. my first attempt at making one of these glass frames. i've admired in catalogs etc, but too expensive to buy. so, here is my version. as you can see the frame has a bit of a lip to it, so i ran sticky tape around the inside in order to hold the glass in the frame. then i cut acetate to the same size as the glass, put the rub-on on that, and ran a bit of sticky tape around the edges of the acetate. laid the glass on top of the acetate and sticky tape and mounted the whole thing into the frame. thinking you could stamp onto the acetate and do all kinds of further embellies! learned what NOT to do, but got the idea of it, and want to make more! very hard to photograph!
