Turning frames into something functional is so easy with the addition of a clip. You can pretty much clip anything you want on here, a picture, a to-do list, or in my case a recipe. Glue Dots® Advanced Strength adhesive makes it easy to add the clip to the frame and it’s strong enough that it can hold whatever you slip through the clip.
Made by: Grace Tolman
Time: Approximately 15 minutes
Level: Easy
Size: Height- 8 1/2" x Length 6 ¼" x Width ¾"
Here's what you need:
- Glue Dots® Advanced Strength Dot N Go™
- Wooden frame
- Americana Metallic Decoupage Paper by DecoArt
- Washi tape- Paper Studio
- Chevron and Quote Pattern Paper by Pebbles
- Paper clip
- Americana Paper Decoupage glue by DecoArt
- Scissors
- Nail file
Here's what you do:
Cover the front of the frame with decoupage paper using some decoupage liquid glue. I did not pre-measure my paper so I just trimmed off the excess. This however led to some ripped ends. To make it a clean finish, I used a nail file to clean up the edges.
To make the edges even neater and looked finished, I added a thin strip of washi tape.
Cut out a piece of chevron paper to fit the inside of the frame. Adhere the paper to the packaging board using Advanced Strength Glue Dots.
Adhere the quote onto the chevron paper using more Advanced Strength Glue Dots adhesive.
Place the decorated center onto the frame.
Adhere the clip on the top of the frame with more Advanced Strength Glue Dots.

I’m a mom to a 10 year old boy and an 8 year old girl. Therefore my life is usually filled with learning, new discovery, bribery and driving to and from all of our activities. I have a loving and very supportive husband of 11 years. When the kids have gone to bed at night, my time is spent crafting while catching up on my favorite shows and movies. I also enjoy reading, window shopping, knitting and perusing blogs for inspirations. Three years ago we moved to Colorado from California and we are enjoying our new environment. I feel very inspired with my new home, my new scrapbook space and the mountain views. Although I’ve been doing some type of scrapbooking since grade school, I only started to scrapbook seriously after my son was born. When he was born I knew I would be staying at home with him but coming from a fast paced sales job I was afraid I would ran out of things to do during the day. Little did I know that with newborns you won’t have any time to do anything else. Anyways, after going through a basic scrapbooking class I was hooked and haven’t stopped scrapping since.
