Next Saturday is my boyfriend’s 30th birthday. To celebrate the milestone birthday I planned a surprise birthday party for him that took place this past Friday. One of the things I was most excited about was the football themed invitations. While the guests and I got to enjoy the watercolor football invites from finestationary.com, Michael did not receive one (obviously). Therefore I decided to frame an invitation for him and mat it myself. Below are step by step instructions on how to mat a photo along with pictures. Enjoy and good luck! And Michael, if you are reading this, I wish you a very happy early birthday! I love you more than yesterday and less than tomorrow xo
Supplies: ruler, scissors, crayon or pencil, glue stick, scrap book paper, item to be framed and frame
Make sure the frame you purchase has a back that can easily be removed
Use the paper that comes in the frame to measure the correct size for the scrap book paper
Cut the scrap book paper
Measure the paper you just cut and mark the center of the page
Place the photo in the center of the paper and glue it down.
Then place in the frame and close the back of the frame.
