If you’re anything like me you absolutely love taking photos and finding the chicest, cutest, bold, and colorful photo frames that will go perfectly with your photo. Whether you find a new frame addition on sale or you pay full price for one, you can’t help but purchase more frames because, after all, who doesn’t enjoy a photo frame?
Of course, there may be times when you have more frames then you know what to do with which is bound to happen at some stage, and like me, you probably have a stack of them hidden away that you bought years ago, but have failed to fill them. Cue a new and refreshing DIY project that will give those old forgotten photo frames a new lease on life.

In fact, you can easily make your own with the use of an 8’10 photo frame, scotch expressions, masking tape and a white piece of cardstock.
