To begin, take out the paper from the center of the frame. Keep it aside for later use in the craft. 

After removing the paper, use a paintbrush to apply black acrylic paint onto the wooden frame. I applied about two coats of black acrylic paint to my frame and let it dry completely.

Creating a Design on the Frame

Next, take a round sponge brush and gently press it onto the frame after applying white paint to the brush.

Adding Craft Gems

Then, cut four long sections of gem strips using scissors. You can either use adhesive or the sticky backing that comes with the gems when adding them to your frame. I added a little adhesive to ensure they were secure.

When applying the gem strips to each side, remove any excess that may hang over the edge with scissors.

Adding Stickers to Picture Frame

Next, determine where you want your felt stickers to go on the frame. Remove the backing from each sticker and place them onto the frame.

Finally, take the paper insert that was set aside earlier and apply black acrylic paint to it. Allow the paint to dry completely before using white acrylic paint and a smaller paintbrush to add any desired wording or designs. I chose to add the word "Boo" and a few white polka dots.
