Punky Playground Display Frame

Hey everyone, here to share a fun, easy project using Punky Playground today.  Punky Playground pieces are 12 x 12 pieces of corrugated cardboard that have scalloped edges.  They come in a pack of two, and you'll need both pieces for this project.

On the bottom piece I cut a 10 3/4" square piece of cardstock centering it.  The papers I chose to use for this project are from My Little Shoebox's Up in the Trees collection.

The second piece of Punky Playground is the front frame.  I measured 1 1/4" in on each side and cut out the center square.  Then I traced the frame on the pink polka dot paper and cut around the scalloped edges.  In the center, I added about 3/8" and cut out the center of the paper.  I scored along the lines that I traced, and snipped the corners in on a diagonal to create flaps that were folded in to create a finished look.  I adhered the front piece of cardstock with Bonding Memories Adhesive, and used Helmar Quick Dry 450 on the small flaps that were folded on the inside edge of the opening.  If you are pressed for time or looking to simplify the project, don't worry about the flaps, just cut right along the traced line in the center of the frame.

Here's what the it looks like without the photos/ephemera:

The trim going across the frame that the items are hung from is Lil Twiney that I crocheted.  It's secured between two Helmar Zapdots.  Additional double layers of Zapdots were used to secure the front and back of the frame.

 

I used some of the Lil Canvas Stems from the Punky Fiber Pack to hang the frame.

This was a fun, quick project to put together.  I didn't embellish it too much, just added a bit of paper to frame the opening, because I haven't decided who is getting this.  Originally I thought I would give it to Ellie, but I kind of want to keep it now, although she did see it when I was photographing and wanted to know if she could have it....
