Choose the colours you like best from the VBS silk paper set - the right choice is the first step in designing your picture frame to suit your taste.
Tissue paper is a delicate, slightly translucent paper that is perfect for craft projects.
Tear the silk paper into small pieces. These should be about the size of a coin. For an interesting three-dimensional effect, shape the pieces of paper into small "knoodles" by crumpling them up slightly.
Now comes the creative part: apply handicraft glue to the area of the picture frame that you want to decorate. Handicraft glue is a versatile adhesive that bonds materials such as paper securely together. Now stick the prepared tissue paper balls directly onto the glued area around the heart motif. Place the dumplings so that they are close together and completely cover the heart. Allow the glue to dry well to make sure everything is firmly in place!
While the glue dries, you can turn your attention to the inside of your picture frame. Insert a personalised photo or create an image or lettering that is close to your heart. If you need inspiration, you can also download and use our free template. This will turn your picture frame into a very personal work of art.
