On the back of the paper, trace the frame (both the outside and the opening where the photo goes).
Apply Mod Podge to the frame. Lay the paper over the Mod Podge and press to adhere. It helps to use a brayer to flatten the paper to the frame. Let dry 15 - 20 minutes.
Sand the edges where the paper meets to frame to smooth them and give your frame a more finished look.
Paint two final coats of Mod Podge on top of the frame, letting dry between each. Let dry completely.
If you choose to add a bow or embellishment, do it with the hot glue gun at this time.
