How To Make a Delta Zeta Sorority Picture Frame

Delta Zeta Picture Frame

Make the perfect frame for a cherished photograph. I think that the easiest frame to decorate is one that is painted solid white. You only have to paint your chosen design on a white frame to make it very special. There are any number of ways that you can decorate a frame. Your imagination is your only limit. This frame was very easy to complete. I used acrylic paint and a quality paintbrush.

1. I started by painting the green and pink border lines around the entire frame. These lines follow the molding of the frame.
2. Then I painted the sorority's name also in pink and green adding little hearts on the ends.
3. Finally, I used the plastic end of my paintbrush to paint the dots.
4. The picture doesn't show it, but the frame hangs by a lovely pink ribbon. This is easy to add with a glue gun. It makes the frame look lovely.

I would love to see other ideas for picture frames. If you have painted a sorority frame, please send in a picture for this blog. My email link is in the sidebar.

Phi Mu Lion with Special Necklace

Here is an easy way to make a stuffed animal such as this lion into a very special representative of your sorority, in this case, Phi Mu. Make a necklace with a ribbon chain and a charm from a foam star.
Simply
1. paint your Greek letters on the foam star
2. punch a hole with a regular hole puncher
3. thread the ribbon through the hole
4. Tie necklace round the neck
5. Add a pretty pink ribbon bow
Now look what you have made! So easy....

And by the way, other foam shapes will work well, too. A heart would be beautiful.
Check out these:
Teddy Bears for Kappa Delta
Turtles for Delta Zeta
Pandas for AOII
Lions for ADII, too.
Owls for Chi O (though stuffed owls are hard to come by) I plan to create a pattern for making a stuffed animal OWL very soon.

Also,
Dolphins
Frogs
Poodles
Unicorns
Ladybugs
Hannah Dolls
Penguins

Please send me a picture if you use this idea. I would love to see your results. (email link in sidebar)

Delta Zeta Design- Handmade Gift Idea

A new Delta Zeta design. I incorporated the turtle into the Greek "D".

Decorating plastic items is easy with paint pens. The pens are made to adhere to surfaces that regular paint would scratch off of. With a little practice, you can decorate almost any item and make it into a personalized gift. You have to try it.

Handcrafted gifts are more special anyway because you are giving of yourself. Also, it's fun and saves you a lot of money. Factory made sorority gifts can be very expensive.
