The fun thing about miniature paintings is because they're such a small area, we can get through them pretty quickly. So I'm excited to show you some projects that won't take you hours and hours and hours. How cute are these mini frames?! They're the perfect way to display your artwork within your own home, or gift to someone you love. I hope you have so much fun with this project and I hope that you use this as an opportunity to share your art with those that you love this season.
