I actually made this before the lamp, but just came across the picture again. I made this for one of my co-teachers. I printed off a letter 'B' off my computer to use as a guide. The picture frame fits an 8x10 inch picture. I removed the glass and took the cardboard that comes in the picture frame and covered it with black fabric. To make the crayons easier to cut, I put them in the freezer for about 3 hours. I think an hour would have been sufficient though. I used a butter knife to cut them, however, I think a sharper knife would've been better (I couldn't find one at the time and I wasn't patient enough to go on a scavenger hunt in my kitchen looking for one!). After cutting my crayons, I arranged the crayons on top of the printed 'B' to get an idea of how to place them on the frame. I then used my hot glue gun to glue the crayons to the fabric. The zebra print around the outside is scrapbook paper. I also used ribbon to decorate the outside of the frame. To finish off my project, I used stamps on white paper to spell out B is for Mrs. Bigrigg. This craft is super easy and super cute for any teacher!
My good friend, Courtney, made me one for Christmas! Check it out.
