How To Make A Stylish Photo Frame For Several Photos
Here is a simple yet stylish photo frame that can accomodate quite many photos at once. The idea is very simple. Fasten twines on the empty frame and hang photos using clothes pins on them. You can use a frame you bought or a frame you made by yourself. To make it you just need to find some wood strips, sand them, paint or stain them and fasten together with the staples and nails. Yes, everything is as simple as it sounds.

This is such a cute idea! I just found an old picture frame of mine that’s too weird of a size to find a painting for–now I know what to do with it!!

cute! reminds me of what I did with a similar old frame. I put small hooks along the top and i have my necklaces displayed (and colour sorted because im weird like that) along it. and my bracelets on the side.
One thing though, you wrote “fastern” twice. It’s “fasten” there’s no R.

I use Kodak.com to print out wallet size photos. You can choose a sepia finish with a White border which looks great

What a cute idea, and even if you painted it- would be nice too.

Hey,
love the idea. It’ll be perfect for my dorm room! I like that you can change or add or rearrange new pictures anytime you like.

Now im going out and find some nice woodsticks

Cute Idea. I painted the frame to match my teenage girl’s room, strung bright rick rack in different colors and used mini craft clothes pins in coordinating colors. She can constantly change up her pics. Looks really cute.

I have some metal frames I’d like to do this with. Anyone have ideas for how I could attach twine to metal frames?
January 25th, 2012 at 12:32 pm
You should drill some holes in your frames.
February 2nd, 2012 at 8:24 pm
I don’t see how this is stylish. It looks like shit.

And you could also do the weekly chore lists for you children on cards. love it.

This is a great way to use those old frames that the glass has broke. Love it.

i bought an old window frame from a flea market for $6 to do hang pics from–easy & cheap
April 2nd, 2012 at 7:54 pm
loved it.. thank u!

I have this strong urge to run over to the second-hand store and ask if I can buy, “Just the frame and a bag of wooden clothes pins.” lol
I’d like to get one of the really big frames and use some decorative ribbon or i-cord. That way I could hang myy 5×7′s. As a scrapbooker, I always have unclipped or oddly shaped photos hanging around. Now they can literally hang

How can I take new cloths pins and make them look old.
June 7th, 2012 at 9:54 am
This is so fenomenaaaaaal!!!!!
June 13th, 2012 at 11:30 am

June 30th, 2012 at 7:00 pm
This is such a cute idea! What size is this frame?
July 14th, 2012 at 11:45 pm
love this idea! like how u can change the pics without a hassle

You could also use instax photos! They are like polaoids but the cameras and film are still easily available and fairly cheap. Then you would get that real vintage feel.

I love that this is sooo simple, but can be customized in really cute or sophisticated ways to fit any decor. Thanks for sharing.
October 21st, 2012 at 8:56 am

Kaleigh – why not wrap the string around the frame to hold it in place. If it is wrapped a couple of times, it could actually be a feature of the frame.
