Craft knife and cutting surface; decorative blade scissors*
Pencil, ruler, glue pen, typing paper, paint brush*

To cut either Paint-A-MAG® or Adhes-A-MAG® surface, for outside edge of frame, trim sheet to a 5" x 7" rectangle. For center opening (to hold a 4" x 6" photo), draw lines 1" in from edge to make 1" border all around. Carefully use craft knife and ruler on cutting surface to cut on lines, saving the center 3" x 5" section for the medium size frame.
To decorate like the Paint-A-MAG® , Sample A shown: Cut one edge of half sheet of typing paper with decorative blade scissors*. Practice the following painting technique on scrap paper first. Place cut edge diagonally across frame exposing one corner. In a well-ventilated area, lightly spray paint the corner. Slide the paper about 1/2" from previous line and spray again. Continue to move the paper and spray frame. Occasionally add a spot spray of a second color. When finished, if desired, spatter paint the frame with a third color (by partially depressing the spray nozzle to intentionally spatter).
Position photo behind frame opening on a metal surface.

To cut either Paint-A-MAG® or Adhes-A-MAG® surface, trim the 3" x 5" piece to 3" x 4-1/2". Similarly measure and cut a center opening (to hold a 2-1/4" x 3-1/4" wallet photo) by making 1/2" borders on sides and 3/4" borders on top and bottom, saving the 2" x 3" sections to make two small frames.
To decorate like the Adhes-A-MAG® , Sample B shown: Peel off release paper and cover adhesive side of frame with Country Garden Paper Flowers* by beginning at lower edge of frame, attach petals and leaves slightly overlapping and extending slightly beyond the frame edges. Make flowers 3-dimensional by gluing centers of additional flowers on top.
