Tutorial: Pictures and Frames

 Hey there!

I decided to add in a tutorial for the Salem Witch Academy frames just in case there is someone who needs a little help with that.

Whether you have a frame or pictures first, it is helpful to know what size they are. So get out that ruler and measure the inner dimensions of the frame.

If your picture is larger than your frame you can use the insert for the template to cut the picture, or the glass if it didn't have the insert anymore.

The frame is slightly smaller than the picture.

 

I used the insert that came in the frame as a cutting template to make it the correct size.

While the frame is all apart it's a great time to give the glass a quick clean and spray paint frame the desired color!

Then place the picture on the glass then add the cardboard and close the holder pins.

There it is. That one was easy! I actually took this one back apart and spray painted it black to match the theme.

  

Here is another example of an oval-shaped frame.

Repeat steps as above. 

Then I have one more example that has multiple pics in one frame.

The frames I used held three 4 x 6" pictures.

I cut the pictures to the correct size making them slightly larger than the 4 x 6" mat and used a glue stick to attach to the back of the cardboard frame. Then I painted the white mat black and inserted it back onto the glass and frame.

I had three pictures that fit stacked and three that were side by side. 

Happy October, Witches!

Candy Corn History

 Candy Corn is so bright and colorful. Some like to eat it and others hate it. Where did the famous candy corn begin? I wasn't sure myself so I did some quick google searching. There are lots of articles written in many different ways but they all pretty much say the same thing.

Candy corn was invented in the late 1880s by a man named George Renninger, an employee at Wunderle Candy Company in Philadelphia. It was first advertised as "Chicken Feed" as many people were farmers and considered corn as animal food.  

This is the 1898 packaging design for Goelitz candy corn, now Jelly Belly candy co.

In 1920 the motto became "King of the candy cornfields"

The arrival of the war brought a shortage of wheat making people start using corn for human food. It was known as penny candy, later becoming more popular as  Halloween candy. 

Well, there's a little history lesson about the bright little candies that we all know, whether you are the king of the candy cornfield or throw the corn to the chickens.
