Happy International Dog Day! To help celebrate I made a personalized dog frame that would make a great gift or to keep for yourself.

To create my frame, I first found an old frame that I have had for a long time and not using. A dollar store is also a great place to pick up frames if you do not have one already. My frame was already painted black which made things a little easier since I didn't have to paint it. Then I grabbed some dog treats, I used the small Milkbones and laid them onto my frame so I knew how many I was going to need and to figure out the best layout for them. Once I figured out how I was going to put them on my frame, I then decide the bones were too light in color, you can see their original color in the photo above. So I painted them with some paint and then sealed them to give them a glossy finish.
Next, I adhered the bones onto the frame using my Xyron Mini Multi-Stick Glue Gun. One awesome feature of this glue gun is that it holds 3 glue sticks at once so you do not have to refill it as often, which is a huge time saver.
To create the shiny mat around the photo of my cute pup Cocoa, I cut a mat out of Toner Cardstock and then laying a piece of Xyron Copper Transfer Foil over it with the shiny pretty side facing up and dull side against the mat frame and placing it in a Xyron Glaminator Transfer Carrier. Then I ran it through the Xyron Glaminator, placed it around my photo, and added it to the frame. Added some letter stickers for her name and viola, it was done and ready to gift to someone or display in your home.
