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 really left of it. If it's not shattered but its color has drained, go ahead and recolor it. It could become a great vibrant picture frame for the kid's room, or you might color it in white and get the new white picture frame and set a mirror in it rather than the glass. Now you have a brand 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.
