DIY Home Decor: Make An Accordion Picture Frame
Dinner and a movie? DIY blogger Natalie Pirvey prefers crafting and a movie! Next time you are watching your favorite film, transform the DVD case into a handmade picture frame. DVD cases make great frames, with their thin black border and clear plastic cover that creates a glass-like shine for your photos. Attach two or more cases to create an accordion-like frame, perfect to display on that empty mantle!
Materials
- DVD Cases
- Cards, Decorative Paper and/or Photos
- Small Hinges (found at craft or hardware stores)
- Small Brads
- Glue Stick
- Glue Gun
Method
- Pull out the paper jackets from the DVD cases and turn them over so the white side is facing up.
- Using a glue stick, attach your photos/decorative paper to the white side of the paper.
- Slide them back into the cases.
- Insert the brads into the hinges.
- Using a glue gun, attach the hinges onto the edges of the DVD cases to connect them. And voilà!
