While pictures are an important way to make memories, this T-Frame T-Shirt Display Case creatively frames favorite and memorable t-shirts in the place of photographs. The T-Frame T-Shirt Display Case is designed to turn shirts into [works of wall art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fraimic).

Designed like a [traditional rectangular picture frame](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ripple-picture-frame), the T-Frame T-Shirt Display Case has two additional square pieces attached to form the arm bands of a t-shirt. The T-Frame overall then looks like a giant t-shirt and can display the shirt's [graphic design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/made-to-order) without wrinkling or crumpling up the shirt. Users simply have to open the back of the frame up and, instead of placing a picture, lay a t-shirt flatly inside. A great alternative to pictures, paintings and posters, the T-Frame is a fresh and contemporary way to let people know what sort of stuff you're interested in.
