    PHOTO

    Plain or artsy, any photo will look better in a funky vintage frame.

    • Choose an old, wooden window with multiple panes.

    • Clean up the wooden part of the frame slightly and remove any loose bits of peeling paint.

      Safety Alert: Always keep children away from anything with old, peeling paint. They can be poisoned by lead or other chemicals if they eat any of the paint.

    • Clean both sides of the glass thoroughly and trim photos to fit the panes.

    • Turn the frame face down and lay the photos face down on the panes. Cut pieces of foamcore to fit in the panes behind the photos and tape to the back of the window.

    • Screw eyebolts into the frame and hang with picture wire. It’s another beautiful way to B. Original.
