Spooky Halloween Trio

Ahhh yes - another season, another look for the trio of frames above our bookcase... this time, Halloween inspired.


This little trio of frames has featured butterflies, toile, hearts...

And to think, I hesitated when buying these 3 frames, not sure I'd use them.

Here is how I created this version of the trio. Materials:



  • Halloween Paper (actually left over from the BOO I created last year)
  • 3 Square frames
  • Dimensional mounting adhesive
  • Scissors
This was a pretty straight forward project - I selected 3 background papers for each of the 3 frames:


Then, I browsed the other papers to decide what else I wanted to use with each of the frames.


The dimensional mounting squares were cut and sometimes layered to get the dimension I wanted for each part of the picture.

The paper was 2 sided, so pictured above is the back with the mounting squares. 


And here is the front.
That is pretty much it - the art was popped in the frames and we've got our spooky little halloween trio.




Know one of the best parts of this trio - it cost nothing. The frames are on their 4th different life and the paper was left over from a project completed last halloween.
