Decorating Wood Picture Frames
By :
Mark Etinger
The cool thing about decorating picture frames is that there is very little limitation to what you can do with them. They make great wall décor, tabletop pieces, and mantle adornments. You can buy them in varying sizes, shapes, and styles. You can leave them in their natural wood color or paint and stain them. They can be mixed and matched for collages. They can be individually showcased. Seriously, if you think you cannot find some way to bring your wood picture frame to life as part of the room design then you are not thinking hard enough. Decorating wooden frames is fun. You have free reign over how the finished project will look. Take for example the use of empty wall frames. You can take an assortment of inexpensive picture frames and line them up as you please to create a funky wall pattern. You will need contract paper, a tape measure, and wire cutters. Measure out the wall space you want to use and take note of it. Roll out contractor paper on a flat surface. This will be your layout sheet for you to play around with frame placement. Take the frames you want and trace the positions once you're happy with the order. Label the frames so you know the corresponding layout. Take the frames and remove any artwork. Take out the backs and cut off the picture wire with the cutters. Now they're ready to be painted or stained. You can use whatever color you want. Try to get an even coat all around the frame. Once it's dry you can start hanging. As mantlepiece décor you can place empty 4x6 picture frames in front of candles, to frame the light. Just be sure they're far enough in front so as not to catch fire. You can always use lightbulb "candles" or other décor pieces like small bowls of potpourri if you want to avoid the potential hazard altogether. They can be used to frame small pieces of art, dried leaves or flowers, and other assorted miscellany.Tabletop frames are perfect for family photos. You can personalize them for relatives with their favorite things. Go to your local arts and crafts store and pick up small decorations that could represent their interests. You can stick them on the wooden frames with a semi-permanent or permanent glue. This is also a fun craft for kids (although you should be doing the gluing if you're not using non-toxic materials). Take this time to sigh with relief. You have some easy and entertaining ways to decorate your rooms with frames now. Enjoy the creative process and if you get a brilliant idea do not hesitate to take these projects in that direction.
