Upcycled Picture Frame Decor

This DIY Activity Transforms Old Picture Frames Into Imaginative Art

— February 18, 2013 — Art & Design
Those looking for a creative way to deck out their wall decor with some new and exciting pieces, will absolutely adore this upcycled frame art, which revamps unused photo frames into designs that showcase your favorite phrases and quotes.

While picture frames are traditionally used to hold photos and images, this DIY activity revolutionizes frames into newly designed art pieces. Simply take an old picture frame, sand it down and then paint it with your desired color. Print out your favorite quote, cut out the letters and then glue them onto the frame’s glass piece. After that, simply paint the entire glass section, and then carefully scrape the letters off and clear away all the excess scraps.

Featured on the blog ‘Lana Red Studio,’ this DIY project is a great way to create something personalized from something old and unused.
