You will need:
- any size frame
- paint if you need a different color frame
Any size frame will work and you can use any quote you want. Or you could use letters, names, images. Different colors. The possibilities are endless with this floating frame cricut craft. You can use simple frames from the Dollar Tree or more high end frames from Michaels. I got this frame I used at Hobby Lobby.
All you do is remove the backing from the frame, along with the glass. Then remove the clips that hold the glass and backing off the frame. I usually just use some pliers or whatever tool I can grab from my husbands work bench to pull them out.
The image below shows the frame with the backing pins removed.
Next, add your chosen quote, initials, images, or whatever you’re using to the front of the glass and put the glass back in the frame. You could also ‘mirror’ the image or quote in Cricut design space and apply it to the back of the glass.
Then lightly glue the glass back into the frame, or get some of the small square dowel like rods. You can find the rods at Home Depot and Hobby Lobby for sure. I’m sure other stores carry them also. Next you will need to cut them to fit inside the back of the frame to secure the glass. You should also paint them the frame color and glue them on to the back to keep the glass put. You can see in the above image that I cut the dowels down to fit inside the back of the frame and secured one to the bottom of the frame. I used E600 glue to secure the rods inside. This was a small 8×8 frame, so I only put the dowels on two sides. When using a bigger frame, you want to secure all four sides.
Then you can hang it on the wall or display it on a shelf. You could even add cardstock or fabric to the backing and put that back in the frame for a different look. That is another easy and simple craft I will share with you at another time.
