How to Make a Beach Corner Picture Frame (Arts & Crafts Tutorial)

How to Make a Beach Corner Picture Frame (ARTS & CRAFTS TUTORIAL):

You know the way a frame goes all the way around a picture?

Well - here's one that doesn't - a corner frame.

They look great, and they're so easy to make.

This was used in Series 14, Episode 10 of the British children’s TV series called “Art Attack” in 2001 (you can follow this step-by-step video if you want, it’s optional).

MATERIALS:

• cardboard box card

• poster or acrylic paint

• glue (glue stick)

• scissors

• pencil

• ruler

• black felt pen

Take a piece of A4 sized cardboard box card.

ANDRE’S TIP: To make an A4 size cardboard box, take an A4 size paper and place it onto a big cardboard box card then draw the sides of the paper onto the cardboard using pencil, and then cut it out using scissors.

Line your ruler up against the left hand edge, and mark the point 20cm up.

Repeat on the bottom edge, marking the point 20cm along.

Take the ruler away, and draw a line across from the top mark and a line up from the bottom mark.

Make them about the same length, so that you end up with a sort of L shape.

ANDRE’S TIP: You can also use an eraser/rubber to adjust your mistakes!

Cut this out.

Now, take a bigger piece of cardboard box card, and draw around the L shape onto it in pencil, to create another L shape.

The idea is to draw the front of your frame design using this L shape as a guide. Do not go below the bottom line, or your picture frame won't stand up! But you can go over the other lines in the picture. Once you've drawn your picture, you'll have something that looks like this.

ANDRE’S TIP: Pencil is best for this because when you make a mistake using pencil you can erase your mistakes and adjust it (you also can use pen if you want to!).

ANDRE’S TIP: Still not happy with your final design? You can erase it and adjust it again!

ANDRE’S TIP: How about drawing your beach corner picture frame with a palm/coconut tree, grass, a crab, and sand on it?

ANDRE’S TIP: Once you’re happy with the design (in pencil), you can finally draw it with pen.

*ANDRE’S TIP: You can also erase the pencil guidelines when you’re done drawing it with pen.

Cut the whole thing out.

Turn your front design over, and put your L shape into position on the back by lining it up with the bottom edge, and draw around it.

To create a gap to slot your picture in, you need two long thinner strips of cardboard box card about 1cm wide that fit along this drawn L shape.

ANDRE’S TIP: Use the “L shape cardboard” as a guide/template for the two 1cm long thinner strips, as shown in the video above. You can also use a ruler to refine/draw a clean straight line, and also measure the width for your long thinner strips by using a ruler.

Use some strong glue and stick them down.

Cut out a cardboard triangle, and fold it along one side.

ANDRE’S TIP: To make a cardboard triangle: draw a triangle on the cardboard like this using a ruler and pencil, cut it out, draw a line on the triangle to make the flap for your stand, and use the ruler to fold the flap perfectly.

Add strong glue along the small folding bit, and stick it to the L shape to form a stand.

ANDRE’S TIP: Still not sticking well? Keep adding more glue with a glue stick to it until it is well glued!

Add more glue on top of the cardboard strips you stuck on earlier, and stick the L shape on top of it, creating a nice slot down the middle.

ANDRE’S TIP: Keep applying more glue using a glue stick until it sticks perfectly.

When all the glue is dry, use poster or acrylic paint to make like this.

PAINTING GUIDE (REFERENCE):

1. How about painting the leaves of the coconut/palm tree and grass green?

2. Paint the trunks of the tree: brown.

3. Paint the crab: light orange or regular orange …

4. … and paint the crab’s eyes: white.

5. And finally paint the sand: light yellow.

ANDRE’S TIP: Use a smaller brush for smaller areas.

PAINTING GUIDE/ANDRE’S TIP: If you add black paint with green or brown or light yellow, you create shade and shadow cartoon effects for your tree leaves, tree trunks, grass, and sand (see 6 at the Painting Guide Reference for the results).
ANDRE’S TIP: Use a pencil as a guide for your shade in the frame.

Paint the back too, and use the back piece of cardboard as a frame stand.

PAINTING GUIDE for the BACK of the FRAME: Paint the back of the frame blue or navy blue or darker blue.

ANDRE’S TIP: Once you’re done painting, outline your beach frame with black marker pen to make it stand out (draw it like this as seen in the video above)!

Insert your picture into the frame to create a corner frame! …

ANDRE’S TIP: 1. To frame your picture: grab your *photo, *cardstock paper (thin card), and *glue stick.

2. Glue your photo/picture onto some thin card/cardstock paper, this will prevent your photo from flapping around.

ANDRE’S TIP: Here’s an example on how to frame your picture!

... Think about other designs like junk food, …

… or theme your frame to suit your picture (like a picture of New York on a New York City corner frame).

“Try it yourself!”

How to Make “HANDY GRIPPERS” Photo Frame (An ARTS & CRAFTS Tutorial)

 

Here's how to make a photo frame to frame your picture!

This was used in Series 10, Episode 4 of the British children's TV series called "Art Attack" in 1998 (you can follow this step-by-step video if you want, it's optional).

WHAT YOU NEED:

*thick cardboard

*pencil

*scissors

*paint

*felt-tip pens

*ruler

*glue

*picture

STEP #1:

Place one of your hands on the cardboard so that only your knuckles and fingers are on it. Draw around your closed fingers, gently pushing your pencil between them.

STEP #2:

Cut it out and draw around it again on another piece of cardboard. Cut this out and you have a pair.

TIP: Instead of tracing it with your hand, I use the cutout cardboard hand to draw around it as a template instead.

STEP #3:

Paint them to match your own hands and add detail with felt-tip pens.

TIP: To make the skin tone color mix white and red, and when it’s pink mix it with yellow next. I’m using brown paint to match my color because I’m Filipino (don’t use black to make a darker skin tone use brown instead).

STEP #4:

Draw around a 30cm ruler on to another piece of cardboard and cut it out. From this cut off two individual strips that are the same length as the hands. Then glue these strips on the back of your grippers, at the knuckle end, away from the fingertips.

STEP #5:

Cut out a piece of card to fit your picture. Place the picture on top, slip on the Handy Grippers and stand your picture wherever you like.

The photo I'm framing is Satsuki Momoi and Riko Aido from the anime "KUROKO'S BASKETBALL" vacationing on the beach with their swimsuits on.

How to Make a "ROOM with a VIEW" from Art Attack

How to Make “A ROOM WITH A VIEW” from Art Attack

The reason why I’m making this video, cause the Series 6 (1994), Episode 2’s “Room with a View” of Art Attack is in Chinese dub (no original English audio is found), but I follow some steps in the Disney Latin American Version of Art Attack with badly auto-generated subtitles on it, so I’ll show you how to make it.

Art Attack - Series 6 (1994), Episode 2: “Room with a View” (Chinese Dub)

Art Attack - Series 6 (1994), Episode 2: “Room with a View” (Disney Latin American Version)

The materials are:

*1. pencil

*2. marker pen

*3. paper

*4. card paper

*5. bowls or containers

*6. white glue (aka PVA glue)

*7. water

*8. cotton roll or balls

*9. poster or acrylic paints (two colors of your choice, but white is included too)

*10. paintbrushes

*11. scissors

*12. paper cutter (optional)

*13. glue stick

*14. magazine photo of a beautiful landscape

NOTE: I chose this photo landscape is because I found an article and it says “A Room with a Farm”, now let’s turn this “a room with a farm” into “a room with a view”.

***

Step 1: Place the paper in the middle of the card paper and then draw around the white paper on the card with a pencil.

Then draw a window with curtains using a marker pen around the drawn line that you’ve drawn around the paper with, like this.

Step 2: Now dip your cotton in the bowl of water, also squeeze and drain the excess water from cotton then dip it into a bowl of white PVA glue and then mold it into a shape of a window frame, and leave it to dry (it might take 2-3 or several days to let it dry rock hard).

Step 3: Now it’s ready to paint, use poster or acrylic paint using two colors of your choice and also white, then leave it to dry.

I’m choosing red and orange as my choice of colors.

 

Step 4: While you wait for the paint to dry, now it’s the time frame your scenery: take your magazine picture of your landscape choice, then use the paper that you’ve previously used to draw around the card paper with, then scan your paper to find your perfect frame for your picture, then draw around it with a pencil and cut your perfect frame picture (I’m using a paper cutter with this is because it cuts perfectly but it’s optional, but you can use scissors).

Step 5: Once the paint is dry, cut it out! Here’s a tip: to cut the outer windows just use modeling clay and put it underneath the placement for the outer windows, and then use a shaper pencil and poke it through the outer windows then cut it.

Step 6: Finally, glue your window with a glue stick on the back of your window and place it on your landscape picture.
