We all love capturing moments of our favorite furry creature, so why not house them in a pet-friendly frame? This darling dog bone frame is a great gift for that puppy-obsessed co-worker or a fine way to honor your own four-legged friend. Read below to learn how to commemorate your loyal canine using your trusty glue gun!
You will need:
- cardboard
- foam core board
- dog biscuits
- spray mount or glue stick
- glue gun and hot glue
- a cherished snapshot of your beloved pet.
Once you have your materials assembled, you are ready to begin. If you have not already done so, now is a good time to charge your cordless glue gun while you assemble the other parts of the project.
First, take a piece of foam core and mold it to the size of your photo frame. Attach the foam to the photo using spray mount or an acid-free glue stick. Next, glue the foam core onto a cardboard frame backing, leaving enough of a cardboard border that you can attach your desired amount of dog biscuits. Next, begin placing the biscuits as your artistic eye sees fit, but don't use your glue gun to attach them yet.
Rather, trace the biscuits with a pencil, then use a craft or razor knife to cut the excess cardboard away from the traced outline to create a perfect dog biscuit backing. Trim a little inside the outline so that the cardboard won't be noticeable once the biscuits are attached.
Now you are ready to glue the biscuits on using your trusty glue gun. If you have a cordless glue gun you can glue from any angle, so don't be afraid to get creative with your dog biscuit placement.
Bonus tip: Create an easel by using your glue gun to attach a dog biscuit vertically to a cardboard strip on the back of your frame. By adding this handy stand, you'll be able to better envision your work as you glue.
