| | | .gif) | Enlarge a favorite picture, two ways
Take your feature photo to a KODAK Picture Maker and follow the on-screen directions to Select an 8" x 10" enlargement. To get the full-color enlargement, Scan your original picture and Print it. Follow the same steps again - but to create a black-and-white enlargement, this time choose Scan Black and White Picture. And Print.
| | | | | | Go ahead and cut your pictures
| | | | | | Now cut the black and white picture
In the same style, place the B and W enlargement face down on your cutting mat with the grids, and secure it with removable tape. Use a photo-safe pencil to lightly mark 1" Vertical lines across the back of the picture using a metal-edged ruler. Mark the strips with letters (to distinguish them from the strips of the color picture), from A to J. Use the craft knife, metal ruler and cutting mat to cut apart the strips of the B and W picture, being careful to keep them in order. Important Tip: It is helpful if you cut the B and W strips slightly smaller than the 1" width to ensure that the picture lines up more easily when you weave them together.
| | | | | | Weave the pictures together
Turn both pictures over so that the photo side is up and line up the strips as if the picture was not cut. On your work surface, place the color picture directly in front of you, and the B and W picture off to your right. Starting with the upper left-hand corner, bring in a B and W vertical strip and begin weaving it over and under the color strips. Do the same with the rest of the B and W strips, being careful to line up elements of the photos - such as the barn or tree trunks shown in our layout. Once the picture is all lined up with all the strips, place a small piece of adhesive under the loose edges to secure the picture together.
| | | | | | Frame it in a picture window
Use a 12" paper trimmer and the brown/red cardstock to cut a picture window-style frame to place over the woven picture. Adhere the frame to the woven picture, and adhere both to the orange/red cardstock background.
| | | | | | Hang a curtain on the window
Wet and tear a 2" strip of orange Mulberry paper to create the window's curtain. (If you are using 8.5" x 11" Mulberry paper, tear two strips and overlap them to be able to cover the entire width of the "window" frame. Place the Mulberry paper above the top of the window frame, being careful not to cover too much of the feature photo. Every couple of inches, create a fold in the Mulberry paper and secure it with double-sided adhesive. Punch seven to eight holes across the top of the Mulberry paper and attach orange eyelets. Weave the copper wire through the eyelets going both directions, and curl the excess wire on the front around a pencil for a curled finish.
| | | | | | Don't forget the title
Tear a small piece of Mulberry paper for the title block, and use lettering stickers to form the words. Wrap fiber around the title block and secure it on the back. Attach the title block to the page in the lower left-hand corner. Add the date with a black pen. | | |
