Magazine Frame

        One of my favorite ways to decorate my room is with pictures, but I hate paying $12 or more for a cute frame! Here's my cheaper and colorful alternative!

Let's get started!

Supplies:
1. Picture Frame (I like to get mine from thrift shops, they're usually less than $3)
2. Magazine
3. Scissors/Paper Cutter
4. Mod Podge (My favorite finish is Satin)
5. Sponge Applicator

Step 1: Remove the back, glass, and any other hardware/accessories so that you are left with the bare frame

Step 2: Rip out a few pages from your magazine, you won't need more than 3 or 4, and you won't use the entire page either

Step 3: Cut your magazine pages into small strips, here's how I cut mine:

Step 4: Line your strips up around the perimeter of the frame so you can plan out how it will look, make sure you account two strips for every corner

Step 5: Once you are happy with the layout break open your Mod Podge and start gluing your strips down, make sure to cover the inner rim of the frame as well

Step 6: Apply Mod Podge to the bottom of the frame and press the strips into it, use your scissors to cut the strips that reach past the edge of the frame

Step 7: Apply a coat of Mod Podge to the parts of the frame covered with strips, and wait 20 minutes for it to dry

Step 8: Apply another coat of Mod Podge to the frame, wait 20 minutes for it to dry, aaaaaaaaand.......

You're finished!

Enjoy your magazine picture frame!
