If you would like to create a cute little frog frame like this one you may wish to follow these project instructions.

What you will need:
CLP1040 Papier Mache Frog Frame
CLDA230 DecoArt Americana Acrylic Festive Green
CLDA275 DecoArt Americana Acrylic Sour Apple
CLDAW67 DecoArt Americana Black Writer
CLDA DS101 DecoArt Decoupage Sealer/Glue Gloss
CLW0054-78 MDF Alphabet Letter Shapes
...and of course some googly eyes!

To begin I painted the Papier Mache Frog Frame in DecoArt Americana Acrylic Festive Green; I found I had to apply multiple coats to really bring out the colour against the darker Papier Mache background.

Whilst the frame was drying I began painting the MDF Letter Shapes with DecoArt's Americana Acrylic Sour Apple. You can spell anything that you would like I chose 'Ribbit' to go along with the Frog theme - make sure to apply multiple coats of paint to the letters as the Sour Apple is a slight paler colouring. I also applied a small bit of the Festive Green on to the I's to make it more obvious as to which letter it is.

Once completely dry use DecoArt's Decoupage Sealer Glue Gloss to stick your MDF Letters on to your Frog Frame. Draw a nice big smiley face using DecoArt's Americana Black Writer before sticking on your googly eyes - alternatively you could use the Writer to design your own eyes.

Et voila!
