Paperclay Picture Frame Gift Scene Part 5
Add a dap of hot glue to your ferns

Add them to your fence

Take 3 of your flowers and create a small bunch. Add a dap of hot glue and glue it to the front of the fern & take a fern leaf and place in front of that flower

Add your smaller flowers in between ferns and next to your big flower bunches

it should look similar to this when done

I added a bird to the fence

Now take your fence and scissors

Cut your fence like this if you want a corner Vignette like mine is. You can leave the fence whole and size it to fit one side of your frame

I used quick grab glue because it dries fast and the glue is easy to cover with paint. Glue the bottom parts together first. If you over glue, don't worry!! Don't try and clean it because you will smudge it over the clay. The glue spots will be covered by flowers if you do not smudge. Once you glue the bottom parts to the base. Glue the fence joints together. If you over glue and it show, do not worry, you can paint this glue when it dries

Take a drop of brown paint and over load your brush with water. Smear only the tip of your brush over the stones (Try not to get any in between the stones). Add this VERY lightly on about 3 stones

Do the same with Dark Burnt Umber

Paperclay Picture Frame Gift Scene Part 2
Roll the clay to the thickness of piecrust

I always like a straight edge so I can have a clean line on one side. Then cut off the excess

You should pounce your brush all over the clay to texture it

Put the frame and clay base together. Press firmly to smoosh the clay around the edges

Take your Mortar tool & stylus out.I made my mortar tool from a old plastic card that came in the mail. You can use a skewer for cleaning the lines. Use sand paper to round the tip off so it won't be too pointy

Put the frame back on this so as it dries, the base won't warp

Paperclay Stones Picture Frame Scene
Have you run out of space and want to create something quick & cute? What if you want to give a gift to someone special? Try this tutorial here as you can alter it and fit it into your own dream scene

Take your picture frame and disassemble it. You will not need the glass part of this frame for this project. You can also plug in your hot glue gun now.

Take the paper insert and trace the outline of it on a piece of cardboard. Once you have traced it, you can cut that piece out.

Take your Glue and drizzle it on

Smooth The Glue all over this piece
