Looking for a creative way to display your favorite photos? Making a cardboard picture frame is easy and fun! It’s a great DIY project that allows you to add a personal touch to your home decor. We’ve put together a step-by-step guide to help you create your own picture frame from cardboard.

Materials You’ll Need:

  • Cardboard
  • Ruler
  • Scissors
  • X-Acto knife
  • Glue
  • Foam brush
  • Decorative paper or fabric
  • Photos
  • Pencil

Step 1: Measure and Cut

Start by measuring and marking the dimensions of your picture frame on the cardboard. Use a ruler to ensure straight lines. Cut out the shape of the frame using scissors or an X-Acto knife. Remember to include tabs on the sides to fold and attach later.

Step 2: Decorate the Frame

Now it’s time to add some personality to your cardboard picture frame. Use decorative paper or fabric to cover the front of the frame. Measure and cut the paper to fit the frame shape. Apply glue to the backside of the paper using a foam brush, then carefully attach it to the frame. Smooth out any wrinkles or air bubbles.

Step 3: Create the Backing

Measure and cut a piece of cardboard that matches the dimensions of your frame. This will serve as the backing. If you want to stand the frame on a table or shelf, cut a small tab at the bottom to act as a stand.

Step 4: Attach the Backing and Tabs

Apply glue to the tabs on the frame and fold them over the backing, pressing firmly to secure. This will hold the frame and backing together. Make sure it is properly aligned before letting it dry.

Step 5: Decorate the Inside

Let your creativity flow and decorate the inside of the frame. You can add decorative elements, such as stickers, washi tape, or even hand-drawn designs. This is your chance to make the frame unique and personal!

Step 6: Add Your Photos

The final step is to add your favorite photos to the frame. Trim them to fit if needed and use glue or tape to attach them to the backing. Make sure the photos are centered and straight.

Voila! You have successfully made your very own cardboard picture frame. Whether you choose to display it on a wall or on a surface, it’s sure to add a touch of charm to your home decor. Get creative and make multiple frames to showcase your cherished memories or give them as thoughtful handmade gifts! Happy crafting!
