DIY Made Easy – Repurposed Picture Frame

By A Cowboy's Wife | January 26, 2015

I seriously have too many picture frames laying around….some with a crack in the glass!  I decided to throw out the glass and reuse the frame.  I see things like this all the time but finally took the time to make it.  I repurposed a picture frame with family photos.

Repurposed Picture Frame

This has got to be the easier craft ever! I have a few barn wood frames but there is just too much brown going on around here so I painted this one red…I guess Valentine’s Day colors were on my mind! Because it’s real barn wood, it soaked up the paint and dried super fast.  I only painted with one coat, as I didn’t want a “perfect” look.  I still wanted the frame rustic and really, I just slapped it on.  I printed out some pictures, used some twine and hung them up.  I love this because you can change the pictures out easily!  Mine isn’t as adorable as those on Pinterest but the fact that I actually made it and quit saying I’m gonna make it, makes me awesomely happy! Take that Mr. Procrastinator!

Repurposed Picture Frame Collage

Supplies needed:

  • picture frame – whatever you have lying around or just buy one from the Dollar Tree!
  • mini clothespins (I got mine at Michaels, clearanced!)
  • Twine
  • Paint (optional)
  • Paintbrush (opt)
  • Staple gun

Directions

  1. Paint your frame and let dry.
  2. Staple the twine on the back, at one side, then the other.  Make sure it’s straight.
  3. Print some photos and hang using the clothespins.

Easy peasy and now I have something (and someones) I love, hanging in my office/craft room!
