Create a custom piece for a new home by making a pretty framed scene. Bright prints and paint will make a wall decoration that pops. Adapt the design to your tastes and add depth by creating 3-D elements. You can also make a memory frame for a special occasion, personalised with trinkets and treasures.
Make a framed scene
Remove the glass from your chosen frame and discard. Paint the front and inside matt green and the back section pink. Set aside. Cut a piece of lightweight card big enough to fit inside the frame and cover it with cloud fabric using an acid-free glue stick. Cut a piece of grey spotty fabric the same width but 6.5cm tall at the left side and 3cm on the right, and stick to the bottom of the cloud fabric. Leave to dry.
Cut one pale green tree, one grey house and one mustard coloured tree from the house print fabric, place as shown and stitch down using brown thread. Sew around a few of the clouds in the background and along the edge of the grey fabric using teal thread. Set aside.
Allowing for a 1cm border around each, cut out clouds, a tall green house, pink house, mustard house and a green tree from the house print fabric. F
