Memory Frame: Father's Day Golf Picture Frame

Don’t you just love yourself some friendly competition? I love it so much I am participating in the Dad and Grad’s picture frame competition here at Crafts Unleashed, without any idea of the rules.

Rules, schmules, really I was just excited to make my father a picture frame for Father’s Day. At first, I couldn’t decide how I wanted to decorate his picture frame. He is an exceptional duck decoy carver and my first thought was to create a frame with a duck motif. However, he is also a great golfer and when I went through my pictures I had a magnificent picture of him golfing next to a lake. It was just too pretty a picture to not use with the frame. And, even though, he is a great wood carver he also has some mad golfing skills!

Golfing motif it was! Luckily for me Consumer Crafts (sponsor of this blog) has some wonderful golf scrapbooking embellishments.

Materials Needed:

9705-3 9x7in holds 4x6in photo frames
1032-51 golf 3-D sticker
1202-42 golf 2 3-D sticker
1208-98 3in chipboard circles
MS00300014 4.5×6.5 in glitter cardstock stack
Green Cardstock
White Cardstock
Glue
Ribbon

Instructions:

Begin by cutting a piece of green cardstock to fit over the top of the picture frame. Adhere the paper to the frame with a thin layer of glue.
Trace the lip of a cup to make a circle larger than the 3” chipboard. Glue the paper to the top of the chipboard. This is your golf ball.
Cut white cardstock into a golf tee shape.
Cut green cardstock into a small hill shape.
Glue first the green hill onto the frame, then the white tee, and lastly attach the golf ball on top of the tee.
Attach 3/8” ribbon around the picture opening and around the edge of the picture frame.
Finish the frame with golf scrapbooking embellishments.

My goal with this tutorial was to make a frame that fit my dad’s personality while also making the concept easy to replicate for the average crafter. With a few Consumer Crafts supplies you too can make a similar Father’s Day Golf Frame.
