Clever Ways to Reuse Picture Frames

The picture frame section at a thrift store is something I never pass up without a thorough inspection. Not only do I sometimes find unusual or eye-catching art for our home, but there are often interesting frames that can be repurposed into something completely new. Sometimes the repurpose is simple- used as a frame for other prints or photos. But there are also some really clever ways to repurpose and upcycle those picture frames in entirely new and unexpected ways.Read more ›

Mid Century Modern Wall Art

Mid Century Modern Wall Art

As soon as I spotted this retro wooden frame at a Goodwill, I was intrigued. It was as if some wood paneling and a picture frame had a baby and created this. I could also tell that the still life pictures were just printed cardboard- nothing of value to worry about. So I wondered if I could upcycle it in order to create some mid century modern wall art that was more our style.Read more ›

Camping Decor with Repurposed Picture Frames

The first time I posted a Hudson Bay Wool Blanket–inspired project, I thought of it solely as fall or winter decor. Those classic HBC blankets are made of wool, after all, right?

Framed Cork Board from a Picture Frame

I was cleaning up my Craft Room a bit and found some cork board sheets that I had snagged on a thrifting adventure in the past.

Pocket Watch Wall Clock from a Picture Frame

Pocket Watch Wall Clock from a Picture Frame

This multi photo frame was unusual enough to catch my eye at the thrift store. Right off the bat, it reminded me of a vintage pocket watch with its multiple round spots for clock faces. Of course, when the cashier remarked how unique the frame was and I mentioned the pocket watch familiarity that I was feeling, she looked at me like I was crazy. But that’s ok- I’m used to that by now. All I knew was that I planned to turn it into a pocket watch wall clock (albeit a fake one) to hang on the wall!Read more ›
