Have you seen Scott Pilgrim vs. The World? If not, I totally recommend it. It is hysterical and quirky in a way that speaks to the heart of a nerd like me. That is why it is my romance choice for this month’s Movie Monday Challenge. It is not the typical romance movie which is why I love it. (Not that I don’t enjoy traditional romances, too.) This DIY seven evil exes frame is the perfect reminder that love can be fun and totally crazy at the same time.

This movie is close to my heart. My husband and I went to see it when we were dating. I’m pretty sure he only went out of boyfriend obligation because I couldn’t get anyone else to go with me. We are sitting there and the entire theater is silent. Then the scene when they point out Scott’s only possessions in the apartment comes on and I died laughing. I was immediately embarrassed at how loud I was but then something kind of awesome happened. Everyone else in the theater relaxed and we were all laughing hysterically throughout the movie. It was such a fun movie experience.

DIY Seven Evil Exes Frame Materials

Blank Wooden Frame
Black and White Heart Paper
Mod Podge
7 Chipboard Letter X’s
Red Acrylic Paint
Small, Flat Paint Brush
Blue Pre-Formed Card
Orange Cardstock (a scrap piece is plenty for this project)
Glue Runner
Scissors (I love, love, love these scissors and recommend them to every crafter!)
Paper Cutter
E6000
Black Permanent Marker

Step 1

First, select 7 chipboard x’s. It doesn’t matter what colors they are. I do recommend choosing multiple sizes and styles.

Step 2

Paint your x’s with red acrylic paint and set them aside to dry.

Step 3

Next, place your disassembled frame on the top, left corner of the black and white hearts paper.

Tip:

Make sure that you do not have it right up to the edge. See the picture above for reference.

Step 4

Trace the inside and outside of the frame. Then draw an “X” in the center.

Step 5

Cut out around your traced lines, leaving extra around the edges as pictured. Also, cut the corners out as you see above.

Step 6

Then cut out the “X” in the center and trim the flaps slightly. (You will need to use your scissors for this part, not the paper cutter.)

Step 7

Next, cover the front of your frame in Mod Podge.

Step 8

Place your frame face-down on the cut out paper. Use your traced lines as a placement guide.

Step 9

Add more Mod Podge to your paper flaps on the inside and mold them to the inside of your frame.

Step 10

Repeat step 9 for the outside flaps as well.

Tip:

You may need to hold he flaps firmly to the sides for a few second to make sure that they stay in place.

Step 11

Set you frame to the side to dry.

Step 12

Next, cut a small piece of the black and white hearts paper for the front of your card. You want it to be smaller than the card is.

Step 13

Then cut a piece of orange cardstock to fit inside the black and white hearts piece.

Step 14

Attach the orange cardstock to the center of the white and black hearts piece with your glue runner.

Step 15

Next, write “I’m Glad You Beat My XXXXXXX” on your matted orange cardstock.

Step 16

Attach your matted cardstock to the center of the front of your card.

Step 17

Now pull your frame and x’s back over and glue the x’s to your frame with E6000 as pictured.

Step 18

Let your E6000 dry then reassemble your frame.

This DIY seven evil exes frame turned out fantastically! As you may have guessed, my husband ended up loving Scott Pilgrim vs. The World too. That’s why this year I am giving him this DIY seven evil exes frame and card for Valentine’s Day. It is a sweet reminder of one of our favorite dates and an accurate representation of our nerdy love story.

Step 14

Bake your cup in the over according to the tutorial on Delicious and DIY.

Tips:

Although she doesn’t say this, I put my cup in the cold oven while it pre-heated. I worried that putting a cold cup (it is winter, after all) in a hot oven would make it crack.
After the timer went off, I turned off the oven and cracked the door. This allowed the cup to cool down slowly, again to prevent it from cracking.
