I would like to make an Altered Picture Frame following your directions in the University. Could you please tell me what type of paper you used to adhere to the frame? I am guessing cardstock but would like to be sure. TIA!

Hi Dot,
This is one of my favorite projects...I have it hanging in my home and love looking at it. Anyway, I used glossy photo paper for the art in the middle - I am pretty sure. That's usually my typical paper to use. But for the floral that is glued to the frame, I used a thin printer paper so that it would mold easier to the grooves in the frame.

Let me know if you need any other help!

Thank you, Brandie! I just love it! It is such a beautiful house decoration and such a clever idea! I can see how it could make a great gift, too. I have an engagement party coming up later this month...........hmmmm. I am really anxious to try it and will let you know how it turns out. Printer paper makes sense with the Mod Podge.

Thanks again for the great directions and for taking the time to answer!
