Welcome to this Perfume Bottle Scenery (Photo) Display tutorial made for Graphic 45 Brand Ambassador Blog Post June 2022, featuring Graphic 45 Alice’s Tea Party Collection. I am going to share with you a written tutorial for this project, together with a free template download and a video tutorial as well.
Photo Display is always my favourite technique, I can change the theme every time, challenge myself on how to make it, and of course, I can display them on a shelf like a home decoration or a photo frame. In this project, I used toothpicks to stand up the photos, so I can take them out, or change them from time to time.
Here for you first is the photo gallery of the Perfume Bottle Scenery (Photo) Display:
In this paper collection, I love so much the rabbit and the flower pattern, so they have the priority to be included in my photo display. I chose two photos of my kids for this project because the pink dress matched the flower pattern perfectly, and my boy’s playful face matched the teapot character.
Flower dies are always one of my favourite tools. Graphic 45 Tag, Pocket & Butterfly Dies come with four different sizes of flower, and also four different styles of leaves, I used the flower dies to make the roses in this project, it’s easy and you can check out the YouTube tutorial at the bottom of this post on how to make it (at 30:50).
