I've just been bursting to tell you all about my time in Kentucky, and I will have that post up for you next week, but until then, I hope you enjoy this wonderful post I've been saving for a rainy day such as this!
Today I am going to show you four creative, cheap, and adorable ways to recycle old frames from thrift stores, vintage shops, and even your attic, into pieces that you can center your entire home around!
Turn an old band poster, and a ticket to their show into a fun work of art that you can display in your home! Even if you're not with the band!
If you or someone you know found their way into the newspaper, this is the perfect way to show it off to the world!
What to Do:
-Lay the framed picture face-up on the ground. -Take the un-framed picture (or piece of cardboard), and lay it face-down on top of the framed photo. This should be the exact size as the photo inside of the frame, so it should fit perfectly on top of it! -Super glue this piece onto your other piece, so you now have a framed blank picture! -Cut your newspaper clipping out, and glue stick that onto the center of the cardboard, and there ya go! I was also thinking that this would be really nice to do a collage picture too! Hmmmm! |
What you Need: -One of those big, ugly, old paintings that has a built in frame on it that you can't take off. and -A big ugly old painting that doesn't have a frame, and has a nice plain backside (or just a big piece of plain cardboard the same size as the framed picture) |
This is the perfect frame for 8x10 pictures. And, it's probably the easiest frame to make!
What you Need:
All you need is one of those big calendars that businesses hand out. Lucky me, I got my hands on an adorable Chinese one! What to Do: -Rip all the calendar pages off the calendar, so you have a nice blank canvas. -Take your 8x10 picture, and glue stick all over the back of it! Stick it in the center of the calendar, and there ya go! A suuuper simple, super adorable wall hanging! |
Instead of letting your vaction pictures rot in a photo album that no one is ever going to see, show off your favorites by making this beautiful creation for everyone to see, and be jealous of!
What you'll need:
-A regular piece of cardboard!
What to Do:
-Lay the frame face down on the ground.
-Put your piece of cardboard up against it,and measure it. -Cut the cardboard to fit inside the frame perfectly. -Now, if your piece of cardboard isn't long enough for the frame (like mine was), simply cut the leftover piece and fit that inside the empty space! If you look carefully below, you can see where I did this, but other than that, it's not noticeable! |
Peace Love and Framing
