Snowflake Photo Frame Ornament

Layered Snowflake Photo Frame Ornament

1. Update text detail on "Back Piece" as needed. You can change the signoff, signature, and year. Font for name is supposed to look like child's handwriting, but some nice alternates for older age groups include: Sunday Melon, September, and Retro Angela.

2. Download SVG File

3. Cut "Frame Piece" from 1/16 or 1/8 clear acrylic (this is the foundation element of your piece - it protects the photo and gives the design elements somewhere to adhere to). I like to use 1/16, but if you believe it will be handled a lot, consider using 1/8 for extra support.

4. Cut "Snowflake" and "Offset" elements from any thickness of material with double-sided adhesive on BACK of your pieces. They are separated by color.

5. Cut "Back Piece" from same thickness of material. I usually match this to my snowflake color.

6. Cut the "Spacer" element from 1/16 acrylic with double-sided adhesive on BOTH SIDES of piece - this is where the photo will sit.

7. Color fill engraved areas on "Back Piece" as needed/desired with craft paint or markers.

8. Assemble as follows (video for reference: https://youtu.be/RuwA-5RvkgQ)

   • Place offset element on front of clear frame piece, taking extra care to line up edges of design elements.

   • Place snowflake element inside the offset element.

   • On the back, line up and place your spacer piece so it sits around the hole inside your snowflake.

   • Place the backer element on top of your spacer piece.

9. Add a ribbon for hanging
