The heart DIY photo frame didn’t fit a photo very well so we used a little drawing instead.

I then stuck the photos on the back using my glue gun.Ĭherry also had a go at making some, she painted hers and covered them in glitter, no surprise there! I say it every time but to avoid glitter falling off everywhere either mix it with glue and paint it on or seal it with Mod Podge / watered down PVA. Obviously if using a circular frame that wouldn’t be an issue. I didn’t do the corners as the yarn kept slipping but I was thinking you could make little snips in the cardboard to hold it in place, you could then do the corners different colours. The wrapping did take a bit of time as you have to cut a length of yarn then keep tying more on, it’s a good job for doing whilst sitting on the sofa in the evening watching telly. You could skip that step though if you were happy you had tied them tightly. I decided to wrap yarn around my frames to decorate them, I secured the ends with a glue gun just to make sure they stayed in place. Once you’ve made the first one you can just draw around the outside and inside so you know where to cut the lines on the second one, you don’t need to measure it all out again, unless you are making different sized frames. You could do this any size you like and in any shape you like, we also did a heart but circles would work too. I then used scissors to cut around the outside line leaving you with a frame. I used a craft knife to cut around the middle line revealing the hole that the photo will be seen through.

I started by drawing around the photo onto the cardboard then marked another line a bit further out. – Paint / Glitter for kids to do some too I’ve been meaning to get some photos up on my walls for ages and I had lots of polaroid sized Instagram photos that I needed to do something with so decided to make these DIY photo frames using cardboard.

I’m a tiny bit obsessed with the colours of the yarn I used, in fact I used them in my crochet bunting too so they match. See the video How to make a frame for a photo There are pictures that you do not want to just store in any folder on your hard drive - there is a desire to print them and insert them into good. I think this DIY Photo Frame post might be one of my favourites to date.
