Corrugated Frame

We made a corrugated frame to match The Squirrel's new Farm Room!
Here's what we did: Take a piece of corrugated cardboard (on the edge, you see that inside is made of wavy cardboard):

Peel off the top layer to reveal the corrugation (easiest to have a tool like a pencil to run up the grooves) This part takes the longest so if your child will lose patience, have this done beforehand):

Then cut an opening of any size, paint and decorate! :

(Then put a piece of cardboard of the same size behind it with the picture inside.)

Here are mine that I made for our baby's nursery:

I drybrushed white on top of the main color, and I used wire flower decorations, very scrapbooky.
