Everyone is talking aboutcork these days. The trend product cork is not only used in the handicraft industry but also in the design of furniture, bags, jewellery and much more. Especially in the Card design or in the design of decorative objects cork is often used. The material can be easily cut and fixed

Today we will show you how to create individual picture frames with just a few simple steps.

And so it goes:
The picture frame should be made of untreated material (wood, papier-mâché) and have a smooth surface
Old picture frames with structure are suitable only conditionally for gluing with cork

Now take the cork blanks and cut them to the size of the frames. The thin cork blanks can often be cut well with the cutting machine. This guarantees straight cuts
You can choose between already printed Cork Paper or blank cork, in our example we used the already printed Cork Paper .

The finished cork blanks are glued to the frames. For this you can simply Handicraft glue or use superglue. Do not use too much glue so that the cork does not get too moist
You should let the glue dry well afterwards

For the edges we have also used some stamping ink. This can easily be applied to the edge of the picture frame via Ink Pads itself. To do this, attach the Ink Pads and pull it lightly from the inside to the outside. Very nice vintage effects are created

If you have decided on the blank-Cork Paper , there is the possibility to design the frame in colour with templates or by lettering. For this purpose our Handicraft paint.
