Small Panda Frame

 Following on from last week, another very simple panda frame for Iris's birthday ........

..... there's note an awful lot to it, using a small, 50p, charity shop, wooden picture frame and a £1.28 panda brooch from Temu, so still cheaper than actually buying a birthday card!

I started by taking the picture and glass out of the frame, before giving it two coats of gold acyclic paint and clipping the fastener etc. off the back of the brooch.

When the frame was dry, I replaced the original picture with a scrap of pale blue, subtlety patterned paper for the new background and putting the glass back too.

I then carefully glued the panda onto the glass using B-7000 glue, not touching it again until I knew the glue had really dried and the panda wouldn't move without a struggle.

It looked OK and that's when I left it for a day or two, before thinking perhaps it needed a cloud or two, remembering some tiny stickers I bought a couple of years ago.

Well, the clouds looked pants, but I liked the effect of the trees on the glass and at either side of the frame, adding a little varnish to keep them in place for good measure.

Not an awful lot to it I know, but a certain little madam, who just adores pandas, was well chuffed.
