in Old style MoneySaving
I have just bought some cheap plastic photo frames and a silver mirror compact. I am going to get my little girl to decorate them as gifts but am not sure what paints/glues/materiels I should be using.

Any ideas

Ps Sorry if this should be somewhere else:D

    It depends on the plastic but pva glue should be OK. You can even mix ordinary powder paint with it to make it 'stick' when ordinary poster paint wont. If you don't already have powder paint get some acrylic paint from somewhere like 'The Works'. Have fun with the decorating.

    Hi,

    If you have a wilkinsons near you they have lots of packs of crafty bits really cheap. A little while back I brought some coloured gems with a flat back for a similar project.
