heart shaped photo frame collage with thermocol

It was Valentine’s Day and I was just getting bored. It was an unofficial holiday for us. Even at work, everyone wanted to leave early and there I was, enjoying my own company and wondering, what to start with? We had a recent family get together and I was just turning through the photos when  an idea of creating a photo collage struck me. I thought of gifting it to my little prince charming- my nephew, it was his first valentine’s day on this small planet and I wanted to make it special for him as well. (Although I know he won’t even understand what’s going on :P). finally I had something to do. So even if you have some extra pics and want something funky out of that, you can try this out, its simple yet too cute…





All you need is:
·         Thermocol  plate
·         Few newspapers
·         Cellotapes- both transparent and red colored ones
·         a silver colored plastic paper
·         cellophane paper
·         knife, scissors and some glue

Method:
1.    What better than heart shape to start with on that day? cut a heart shape out of a big newspaper.(fold the newspaper into half, cut out the shape, something like this).





2.    place it on the thermocol sheet, trace the shape and cut it out with the help of a knife.
3.    Start by placing all the photos on the heart shape and adjust them in the form of a collage.
4.    Start Rolling the newspaper tightly from one end. When it is fully rolled secure it with a transparent cellotape. Next cut the paper roll from both its side such that you are left just the thick part. Wrap the thick part with red cellotape and join it from end to end (by placing one inside the other roll).

5.    Place this on the rim of your heart shape and secure it with transparent cellotapes.
6.    Finally cover it with a cellophane paper and put a bow on the back side of it. Your photo collage is readyJ
