Tips to reuse Old Image Frames

By Nathan Hall


If you drop a framed photograph, you throw off the broken glass and the frame. But what if the frame is particularly nice? Or what if the frame is nearly intact? All Of A Sudden you get some original picture frame ideas and turn an accident into a fresh artistic object. Then you think to yourself: "An old image frame never gets old". In this text we're going to share some useful and artistic means to recycle 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 greeting cards you've received for Christmas and pick out a really beautiful one. Then frame it with one of your unused picture frames. You might use it as a gift as well. And speaking of gifts, let's say you're really time pressed and there's a buddy's birthday coming up soon. But wait, you remember having several really crazy images from a recent Friday night out with the boys on your computer, and indeed he's in the pictures and he's fooling around. You print it and frame it. That present is going to bring up some laughter for sure. And at the end of the party you realize you built a great present, you made all the people happy and you successfully reused an old photograph 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 marvelous by reusing it looks to be a tough task at first but once you think about it a few times you might actually come up with several original picture frame ideas.
