Craft expert Alexa Lett explains how to take your children's art, shrink it and encase it into hardware to attach to a necklace or pin. Materials:
Child's artwork
Reduced color copies of artwork
Miniature frames
Pin backing
Lockets
Necklace chain
Pliers
Jump rings
Scissors
Glue stick
- Select favorite pieces of your child's artwork, and have them reduced at a color-copy center. Have the reductions reduced again until they're small enough to fit inside miniature metal frames, or about the size of a postage stamp (figure A).
- Trim around the reduced images, and place them inside miniature picture frames. Pinch the frame edges together with pliers to secure the pictures (figure B).
Tip: If a frame backing is included in your frame kit, adhere the reduced picture to it with a glue stick.
