How long will the frame last?

When using quality materials, such as sturdy cardstock and proper glue, your frame can last for many years! The laminated options can enhance durability as well, similar to our melted crayon rainbow butterfly suncatcher.

Can I use other types of decorations?

Absolutely! Get creative and use whatever you have on hand. Just avoid heavy decorations that might weigh down the frame.

Are there alternative sizes for the frame?

Yes, you can easily alter the dimensions to fit different photo sizes, just make sure you adjust the cuts accordingly.
