5 DIY Ideas for Upcycling Old Picture Frames

Instead of throwing out old picture frames, try these creative DIY ideas to upcycle them into unique and stylish accessories for your home.

1. Turn a Frame into a Memo Board

Using corkboard or foam core, create a new backing for the frame. Then, use glue or nails to attach the backing to the frame. Now you have a stylish memo board!

2. Create a Wall Collage

Paint all of your old frames the same color, and hang them together to create a wall collage. This is perfect for displaying family photos or artwork.

3. Make a Chalkboard

Using chalkboard paint, cover the glass of your old picture frame. Now you have a chalkboard that can be used to write shopping lists, messages, or reminders. You can even use it as a weekly menu planner!

4. Turn it into a Tray

Using a large picture frame, remove the glass and backing. Paint the frame and then attach handles to either side. Now you have a stylish tray that can be used to serve food or drinks.
