Great Used Picture Frames Ideas

By Nathan Hall


When you drop a framed picture, you throw away the broken glass and the frame. Only what if the frame looks beautiful? Or what if the frame is nearly undamaged? On The Spur Of The Moment you get some creative picture frame ideas and turn an accident into a new aesthetic object. So you think to yourself: "An old photograph frame never really becomes old". In this text we're going to share some useful and artistic ways to reuse old picture frames.

When you want to recycle a picture frame, think about what's actually left of it. If it's not crushed but its color has worn out, go ahead and recolor it. It might become a brand new colored photograph frame for the kid's room, or you could paint it in white and take the new white picture frame and place a mirror in it instead of the glass. Now you've got a new mirror in a shiny white picture frame.

Bring all the postcards you've received for Christmas and select a really beautiful one. Then frame it with one of your kept photograph frames. You could use it as a present as well. And talking of gifts, let's say you're really time pressed and there's a friend's birthday tomorrow. Then you recollect you still have some really funny images from a recent Saturday night out with the boys on your computer, and yes, he's in the images and he's fooling around. You print it and frame it. That gift is surely going to stir some laughter. After the party you realize you made a wonderful present, you made everybody laugh and you successfully recycled an old picture frame.

What about the damaged frames, aren't you supposed to throw it away? Maybe you should, but in case you were wondering how to make a picture frame, you can craft it from other broken image frames. Take the ones with the identical size and put them together, some nails and some glue might come in handy. Or if you're in a creative mood go ahead and build some original pentagonal, octagonal or triangular frames. You can get a piece of thin Styrofoam and slice it to fit the frame. Tape it and you have a brand new message board.

How to make a picture frame look good by reusing it seems to be a tricky job at first but once you think about it a few times you might actually come up with several creative picture frame ideas.
