House, design, renovation, decor. Courtyard and garden. With your own hands

Modern world dictates its own rules. Gadgets are replacing the previously familiar things that were part of our everyday life. If earlier photographs were stored in photo albums, now they are most often stored on hard disks, flash drives, in online stores. You can view thousands of images at once, but the charm of the process is lost. Compare with reading books online and in real binding, with paper pages. The book and photo album that you hold in your hands have their own magic, unique energy. Photo frames can also be classified as an endangered class, but with a big amendment: if they are ordinary products from the store. DIY creative frames are out of fashion. They are always relevant, effectively decorate the interior, and become an original addition to a gift. Consider ways of making unusual frames, with which a special atmosphere appears in the house.

How to make a cardboard photo frame

The advantage of this method is that you can use any colors. Cardboard sets are sold in 8, 10, 16, 20 and more shades. Or, it is best to create your own range by covering the surface with paint that perfectly matches the furnishings of your room.

Now more about the process itself:

• We outline the desired size of the future frame, draw a rectangle on the cardboard and cut it out. Try not to go over the edges. All irregularities will be visible on bright cardboard.
• Then inside we draw a second rectangle with a pencil - a little smaller photographs (10x15 or 9x13). We make a neat cut under the photo. Be careful not to damage or wrinkle the cardboard.

• Now about the decor. If the cardboard is plain, with a usual smooth texture, the frame can be supplemented bright elements... These can be stickers that are sold in stationery stores (flowers, figures, letters), sticky stars, textile roses, volumetric paper compositions, bows, etc. Fantasize more daringly. If you have time, you can paste over the cardboard with millet, buckwheat, small pasta and paint it on top with a spray can.

An important point: choose a good glue that will ensure reliable fixation of the decor elements.

• We make a back wall that will hold the photo. Better to take thick paper or the same cardboard. Cut out a centimeter-sized rectangle more photos... We glue the edges to the base so that the top side remains free - you get a pocket. We are waiting for drying.
• We insert a photo into a frame and admire our hand-made creation.

DIY photo frames from magazine pages

Read magazines become a useless pile, a dust collector, which is a pity to throw out, but also useful applications can not found. Colorful glossy pages are an excellent basis for decorating an original photo frame. The process itself is also fascinating, which often develops into a hobby. The products are bright, interesting, unique - it will be difficult to find analogues. Now step by step.

• We take a sheet of thick paper or cardboard. The ideal size is 20x25 cm. simple pencil in the middle there is a rectangle under the photo, it should be slightly less than 10x15. We cut out the window with scissors, without going over the given edges.
• We take up the magazine Tear off or cut off the pages one by one. Each must be twisted into a tight tube. To prevent the sheets from unwinding, glue the outer edges.
• The tubes can be decorated with multicolored clerical threads, which must be purchased in advance in the store. It is better to choose contrasting colors, the more shades there are, the brighter the composition will turn out. We wind the threads on the tubes from the magazine pages, leaving small gaps. We fix the edges with loops, carefully trim the ends.

• We frame the cutout under the photo. One by one we glue the tubes around the window, one after the other, combining the colors at our discretion. We recommend using PVA glue - it fixes paper materials best of all. You can set the tubes in any direction: in straight lines diagonally, vertically, horizontally.
• We make a pocket for a photo. On the inside of the frame, glue a rectangle that will close the window - it will become a pocket.
• In the central upper part of the frame, we attach a loop for the hook with glue - for placement on the wall or we make a leg out of thick cardboard (desktop version).
• Insert a photo. With the debut, you did it!

How to make a beautiful gift frame

An ideal gift - given with a soul. Of course, store presents often take a lot of time to choose, but they do not have the energy of hand-made. Supplement the main gift with a handmade photo frame, and the hero of the occasion will be pleasantly surprised and moved.

The process is not complicated at all:

• Cut out the base for the photo from cardboard - in size, be guided by the photo. If there is 10x15 inside, the sides of the frame should not be less than 5 centimeters.
• With scissors we make a window-slot under the photo.

We select a piece of fabric. Color, print - to your taste. The most winning options that look bright and impressive: contrasting peas, multi-colored stripes, patterns on a white background. It is better to choose a picture by age and situation. Children - cartoon motives, women - floral prints, men - restrained style.

• We put the fabric on the cardboard and measure out a rectangle with a margin around the edges - for bending. Cut out squares on the sides so that the folds are neat and aesthetic. Do not forget to make a window in the middle.
• We glue the fabric to the cardboard. We try to prevent the material from wrinkling, fixing evenly, and not slipping along the edges.
• At the back we make a pocket according to the principle described above - from thick cardboard glued to the base on three sides.
• We select the ribbon by color. You can buy a ready-made one with a bow. We glue the tape to the fabric from the bottom horizontally or from the side vertically. The frame is ready and waiting for its solemn moment.

How to make a frame of flowers

Flowers can become not only the basis for a bouquet. Floristic compositions from varieties that become beautiful dried flowers without water are a great decor for a photo frame.

We will tell you in detail how to make a masterpiece out of a regular frame:

• For dry compositions, hydrangeas, small spray roses in half-open buds, medium-sized gerberas are ideal. It is necessary to cut off the stems so that they are enough for fixation and the extra ones do not crawl out of the edges of the frame.
• We glue the edges of the photo frame with tape, fabric or lace.
• Now the most crucial stage is fixing the flowers. You need to act carefully so that the inflorescences do not break. We start gluing from the corner of the frame, slightly diagonally. We try to hide all the voids.

We make a back pocket for a photo and a mount (for a wall - a loop, for a shelf - a leg-support). A beautiful frame of flowers is ready.
DIY photo frames made of threads

What to do with thread if you don't know how to sew? Craft an original photo frame that will effectively decorate your home. The colors of the threads can be chosen in harmony with the shades of the interior. It will look stylish and conceptual. About the process step by step:

• We select threads . A frame in one color will look boring. Try to combine two or three shades, you can use a bright multi-gamut. It looks interesting red with blue, yellow with green, orange with purple, brown with canary, white with blue. Be true to your taste and interior colors.

• We make the frame itself. To do this, you need a sheet of thick cardboard and scissors. Determine the size, outline inner window and cut with scissors.
• We apply glue to the surface and start wrapping with threads. Measure the length and cut from the coil - it will be so convenient to combine different colors... The threads should fit snugly against the cardboard, soaked in glue. After the frame is completely wrapped, place it on the table and press on top with a press: a stack of books, a jar of water. 15 minutes and you can go on.
• Making a pocket. It will have to be glued to the thread base. We leave the top edge free - through it you will insert the photo into the frame.
• Thread frames look more impressive on a table or shelf. The appropriate method of fastening is a support from the craton.

How to make a photo frame yourself using buttons

There are buttons in every home. You can easily create a bright set for a photo frame. In addition to the buttons, you will need three more items: super glue, heavy cardboard, and scissors.

• Preparing the base. To prevent the frame from bending from the weight of the buttons, choose the thickest cardboard. We immediately make both the outer frame and the pocket under the photo.
• We fix the buttons. You can arbitrarily, you can draw up a drawing, adhere to a balance in shades and shape. Better to start from the top corner and go clockwise.
• Let the frame lie down for a while until it dries completely. Try not to put anything on top, the buttons may shift, the composition will creep and you will have to start all over again. 10 minutes and the photo frame is ready to use.

Whichever method you choose, the frame will turn out to be original and unique. Feel free to fantasize, try new materials and decor elements. Try yourself in hand-made. The process is creative and fun, often developing into a hobby. How nice it is to admire the frames made with your own hands and soul!

In the days of digital technology, the value of the paper-based image has dropped markedly. And in vain, photography is primarily a memory from the past. People are used to keeping things dear to their hearts next to them. But storing photos in digital media is not always convenient, and the presence of an attractive frame with a favorite image on the table automatically attracts the eye and, accordingly, brings back pleasant memories. You can make a photo frame with your own hands from improvised means, using natural materials for decoration.

What can you make a photo frame with your own hands?

If you plan to hang a framed photo on the wall, it is better to take lightweight material for making - ceiling plinth, cardboard, paper.

1. A very simple frame layout can be made from ceiling plinth. Smooth surface material will allow you not to make a mistake in size. Use a ruler to carefully measure required measurements, cut with a clerical knife. Further, by inspiration, the product can be painted with paints or decorated natural materials: shells, branches and leaves of a tree. After the glued decor has completely dried, carefully cover the craft with colorless carpentry varnish.
2. Wood frames are more durable in construction. For crafts, take two identical strips in size. Knock down with carnations or glue in the form of a rectangle, open with varnish.
3. A photo frame made of cardboard and yarn is a very easy craft to carry out. Fold cardboard or thick paper in several layers in the form of a rectangle or other geometric shape. Gently spreading with PVA glue, sequentially glue the frame with multi-colored yarn and buttons.
4. A frame from a glossy magazine looks unusual. Roll each page of the magazine into a tube, glue in the form of a geometric figure.

You can involve a child in creating a dough frame. A fascinating activity will amuse the little fidget, and the product will turn out to be unusual.

1. Combine flour, non-iodized salt and water. We take salt in half a portion of flour, and half less water than salt.

3. The ornament for such a product can be stitched immediately with a frame.

A well-taken picture is able to preserve pleasant life moments in memory. Your favorite photo, placed in an original frame, will become a decoration of any interior. A good alternative to purchased frames, the choice of which is huge on the market, can be made by a unique, one-of-a-kind product that you make with your own hands.

As a basis for a future masterpiece, you will need thick cardboard, as well as scissors, a brush and a pencil, paints (acrylic, gouache or oil), universal glue and polished peas (whole or in halves).

It is best to start creating a cardboard photo frame with your own hands by determining the size of the future frame, which will be 1.5-3 centimeters larger than the picture itself. Cut two identical blanks out of cardboard. Place the photo in the center of one of them and trace around the perimeter with a pencil. Make the inner window slightly smaller than the picture: mark by about 0.5 centimeters along each edge and cut it out. You need to glue the peas on the resulting blank (in any convenient way), then paint the frame in the selected colors and varnish it. From the same cardboard, make a leg for support or an eyelet if the photo will be placed on the wall and glue the prepared element to the back of the frame. Then the two halves (upper and lower) must be carefully glued together.

If you choose the right color, the frame becomes autumnal

Such an unusual decoration element as peas can be replaced with coffee beans, sea pebbles, shells or cherry pits - it all depends on the imagination of the master.

DIY photo frames from scrap materials can be created in the kitchen. For example, salt dough is an ideal building material for original framing. It is soft, elastic and pliable; finely ground salt, flour, sunflower oil and water are used for its preparation.

Roll out the dough to the desired thickness on parchment paper, then cut out a circle (if the frame is round) of the required size and an inner hole in the middle for the photo to be posted.

Separately roll out the rest of the dough and cut out the hearts with a mold, which are glued to the base in diameter by overlapping each other.

The resulting product must be dried in the oven on parchment paper: the first couple of hours at a temperature of 80 ° C, the next two hours at 100 ° C. Leave it to dry in room conditions for another two days, then paint and varnish.

The edges of the mold must be cleaned with a spatula, smooth the surface and leave to dry for several hours.

The basis for the future product will be an old unnecessary frame, on which figures prepared and sanded with sandpaper from the side of the attachment are glued. Cover the resulting product with a primer and paint.
