Read on to find out how you can create your own personalised frame in just a few simple steps!

Step 1: Laying the foundation

To shape your frame, glue the craft blocks into a square or rectangle. Use the VBS handicraft glue for this. Make sure that you stick the blocks close together to ensure stability. Allow the glue to dry thoroughly before continuing. This will prevent the construction from shifting.

Step 2: Prepare the back wall

Once the frame has dried, it's time to cut the back panel to size. Place the frame on the desired paperboard and outline it with a pencil. This will ensure that the back panel is the exact size.

Step 3: Attach the cardboard

Then cut out the outline you have drawn from the cardboard. Make sure the edges are clean so that everything fits perfectly. Then stick the cardboard onto the back of the craft block frame with the patterned side facing inwards.

Step 4: The finishing touches

Do you want to loop your frame? Then you can now attach picture eyelets to the back. Screw them on carefully so that the frame hangs securely on the wall later.
