A holiday catalog inspired me to make these frames. Since floating frames are rather expensive, I decided to just make my own.
All these frames came from either the Dollar Tree or Dollar General Store. The largest is 8" x 10" and the smallest is 4" x 6". I removed the cardboard backing and then put a line of hot glue around the edge of the glass on the back side to hold it in place.
The issue with removing the cardboard backing was that also removed the metal hanging loops. When I selected the frames I made certain the edge of the frame was wide enough to add my own sawtooth hanger.
The letters were cut from Oracal 651 vinyl and mounted on the surface of the glass rather than reversing the image and placing it on the back side of the glass. I did it this way so that none of the adhesive on the larger letters would be visible from the front.

Those turned out very nice! I have seen a lot of vinyl projects lately...really making me want to get a cameo silhouette. ;)
