Supplies
- Colorful Buttons (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, White)
- Rectangular A4/A3 White Paper
- Fabric Glue
- Hot glue gun
- Tweezers
Frame Making
- A rectangular sheet is placed flat on a working surface.
- Extra rectangular portions extend out from all four sides .
- These strips will later be folded to form the sides or border of the frame.
- Multiple parallel lines are drawn on each of the extended strips.
- These lines are evenly spaced and are likely for folding and creating a raised edge or thickness.
- The parallel lines indicate fold marks that will help in shaping the frame’s edges and provide depth once folded inward.
Folding the Frame Edges
- The rectangular sheet with extended flaps has been folded along the drawn lines to start creating raised edges.
- The corners of these flaps have been carefully folded diagonally to ensure neat and sharp corners when the frame is assembled.
- The shorter top and bottom flaps are also folded inward, overlapping slightly with the side folds, giving the structure stability.
- These folds create a raised rectangular border around the central flat area, which will act as the main face of the frame.
Colorful Button Setup
- Buttons of different colors are carefully arranged in curved rows to form the shape of a rainbow.
- Each button is fixed firmly using fabric glue to the base, ensuring they stay in place.
- Bright colored buttons (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet) are used to create the rainbow arcs.
- White buttons are glued in clusters at both ends of the rainbow to represent fluffy clouds.
- The securely glued buttons form a colorful rainbow inside the handmade frame, creating a vibrant and cheerful decoration.
Glue Characters
- Using a hot glue gun, the word “LOVE” and small heart shapes are drawn on a transparent plastic sheet.
- This creates raised 3D letters and heart embellishments.
- Once the glue hardens, the letters and hearts are painted with bright colors to give them a lively appearance.
- The painted letters and hearts are carefully glued below the rainbow inside the frame with the help of a tweezers.
- The bright colors of the letters match the cheerful theme of the rainbow.
- A few extra painted hearts are added around the rainbow as decorative accents.
