There are many ways to customise a picture frame if a unique piece of decor is what you want for your space. One of the simplest and easiest ways to create a custom picture frame is to refurbish old pieces that you have lying around in your home. Every household has a stash of unused, old frames or ones that have been neglected throughout the years. By collecting these frames and repurposing them using other basic household and craft items, you get to create new and interesting display pieces that you can be proud of. Perhaps you have old frames that are missing their glasses or any other part, but can still be used for decorative purposes—these are the kinds of budget-friendly solutions you can turn to if you want to exercise your creativity and fashion custom frames out of the scrap you can find at home.
The first thing you want to do is to gather all your available supplies together and lay all your frames out to visualize your resulting piece. If you don't have scrap photo frames lying around, purchasing standard picture frames and taking them apart is also a good way to customise frames, especially if you can't find a piece that best matches the look you want to achieve. There are also frame stores that allow for different degrees of customisation, ranging from sizing to moulding, and even the number of apertures and overall frame layout. However, if you want something that is unique and your own, custom-designing frames yourself is always a viable option.
Lay your frames down to create a vision of the look you want the resulting piece to have and use appropriate materials to enhance the overall visual of your piece, whether they be scrap wood, wires, shells, or other craft staples that will best complement the artwork/photos you want to showcase.
