I think handmade gifts are a perfect option for any occasion. They make a lovely sentimental keepsake for somebody special. Shortly we will be celebrating Father’s Day and each year the boys and I, make up a cool hamper filled with lots of goodies for their Daddy. We normally pop a nice little handmade gift inside too and this year we have decided to do a box frame.
What You Will Need
Double sided tape or glue
Marvel Print Paper
It really is quite self-explanatory how to create this frame. You simply cut your paper to suit the inside diameter of your frame. Adhere your patterned background to the frame’s backboard, you could use either double-sided tape or a glue stick.
Then pop your required letters on (ours are stickers so no glueing required) and put the frame back together.
This craft can be achieved in as little as 15 minutes but will be cherished for a lifetime. There are so many different ways that you could adapt this design and make it personal to the recipient. Perhaps use a background showcasing their favourite hobby, or you could use a favourite photo and use mini pegs and a piece of string to hang it off, like below.

The boys and I are absolutely over the moon with our little box frame and the whole thing cost under £6.50.
