HOW DID SHE DO THAT?

This is the swirled circle frame that I have become known for over at SB.com!

These are very versatile and can not only be used for circles but straight lines for frames as well!










They are very easy to make and only require the swirl punch shown here.




Here's how it's made!


First, cut out circle. The circle can be any size depending on how it will be used. For frames, make sure it will fit around the picture. If you plan on placing it behid a photo, just make sure it is big enough to show.




Next, you will turn the swirl punch upside down. This makes it easier to see what you are doing! Place the punch as far into the paper as it will go. This will ensure that your circle stays a circle.

Next, you will start punching, making sure that each swirl touches the one next to it. It doesn't overlap, it just touches it like it is pictured below.



To complete you circle, just punch the entire way around. When you have punched around the entire circle, the middle will simply fall away and you will be left with a frame like I have pictured below.



Thanks for visiting my blog and have a great day!
