Frames without glass are a dime a dozen at thrift stores and there's even a chance you have one or two in your own home that have been stuffed into storage. Forget having glass re-cut for them, turn them into a cute photo display instead. It's perfect for seasonal photos or even love notes to your sweetie. Awwww. Here's how:
Our friends over at Craft tipped us off to this great project found at Sweet Peach. They've spray painted a few plain wooden frames and wrapped them with twine. If you're not into something that feels so rustic, you could consider using a more formal string or ribbon, or even spray painting twine.
The final look allows you to rotate photos throughout the year, which can be a nice change of pace from only seeing them on your Facebook page. It's easy to print a few snapshots out instead of making every photo placed in your home a frame worthy commitment.

I'm amused that these needs instructions.
Hmmm... the frame idea is not my cup of tea... but golly is that pup cute! I wanna smoosh him! :)
A more finished look might be to just staple the twine randomly zig zagging along the back, or something like that instead of around the outside of the frame.
It could be cute but it isn't.
What @adamwa said. Good idea!
I did this sort of thing, but fastened the twine on the back and had it more regular: http://annabelvita.com/postcard-frame-hanger-younghouselove-pinteres at the moment it has a teatowel on the back but I'm playing with the idea of leaving it blank
Effective yet so simple! it would work fittingly with a more minimal looking frame.
Um, no. There are corkboards and magnetic boards (not to mention refrigerators) that can serve this purpose. Plus, glass really isn't that expen$ive.
I really don't think the point of this idea is to throw away a perfectly good sheet of glass from a NEW frame - it's more for those thrifted frames that have broken/missing glass.
I agree that it could look much cleaner with the twine stapled to the back of the frame.
it looks messy.
no no no no
I think this is totally something I would do--I have a ton of old family photos that are 3"x3"--there are very few frames made that fit them and custom work is too expensive.
I'd use a frame with narrower sides, though, so not as much string would show over the frame pieces, or staple on the back as suggested above.
But why, oh why, are they hanging this outside? Those cute pics are going to be destroyed by sun or rain or both.
What adamwa said. I like the idea overall, but would put the twine BEHIND the frame. I'm always switching around my kid's photos and this would be a easy solution.
