my creative space ... on the wall

This week, I've been printing, printing, printing - a new larger version of my vintage tram roll menu tea towel. I've been wanting a larger version of this design for a few reasons - I love typography, quite a few people asked for it (which is nice) and I have had a bit of a framing idea in mind for a while ...

 

I found a great frame at a bargain shop for 20 bucks, with some really lovely people on it ....!

{Note: The dimensions of the printed area of the tea towel are 21.5cm (8.5 inches) x 51cm (20 inches). The dimensions of the frame (inside) I used are 28cm (11 inches) x 60cm (23.5 inches).}

 

Step 1 - remove the back of the frame, as well as the "lovely people" and mounting board. 

Step 2 - glue or tape the cardboard that the people are on to the mounting board to create a firm board to wrap your tea towel around.

Step 3 - align the print of the tea towel to the board you have created.

Step 4 - attach tea towel to the board - I used double sided tape (the kind you might use to hold yourself in a strapless dress, as it adheres to anything!) but you could use glue or whatever you have really.

 

Finally, put the lot in the frame, and put the back on it ... you're ready to hang it in your kitchen (or where-ever). 

Voila! 

... a bit of art for my favourite corner of the kitchen!
