Fun Frames

Create the Frame you want!

When my son was about 8 weeks old we had pictures done in our home.  I did this each time one of our kids was a baby.  This time I got more 5 x 7  pictures because they would be easier to frame.  I found a really neat collage frame at Hobby Lobby but it was gone by the time I got the pictures back.  I spent the last two months looking for another one.  Unfortunately all the collage frames were for 4 x 6 pictures.  This last week I was at IKEA and found very inexpensive 5 x 7 frames.  I wanted to frame all 8 pictures but did not want to spend an arm and leg to do so.  The light weight frames came in a two pack for each color.  I arranged the frames into a large square and used hot glue to connect them.  I used circle shaped paper clips attached to the top of the frames for hanging.    These frames are great for adding embellishments to as well.  For another fun design, add brass hinges to hold the frames to each other. 

I have so many photos to frame and never knew what to do with some of them before.  I'm inspired to create more collages of different sizes and shapes!  If you have a unique way of framing your photos, please share!
