Shop for Frames in Furniture & D?cor

Are you tired of looking for some decent picture frames that are affordable and look good? There are so many times when you feel that frames are way too expensive or not suitable as gift items. So why not try something different? Gather your relatives for a nice shoot, and then hire a family photographer or a baby photographer to take pictures. As your pictures develop, you can create a frame in order to get a place to stick them.

If you want to make your own, then that is even easier. All you will need is a book and a few extra things you can find around the house. Your family will really love having something you made yourself. So, just follow the following steps to get your Book-Photo frame.

• Your first step is the selection of a book with cool colors and an attractive cover. You can either choose an old one that you had on the shelf, visit your favorite bookstores or browse through piles of used books for sale at flea markets. Keep in mind while shopping that the ideal book for this purpose is the one with a sturdy cover and has a frame cut out from it.

• Once you open the book, you will find the inside front cover. This is exactly the place where you will like to place the picture to be framed. Lightly trace this area using a pencil.

• Next, you will need a strong knife or a box cutter to cut along the traced line down the book’s cloth, but not through it. A little caution must be exercised for this step and kids should not be allowed to do it without supervision.

• Afterwards, you should peel away cardboard from the book in such a way that the book’s cloth still remains attached to it.

• Create a smaller opening in the book’s cloth carefully. Make sure that one inch of the border of book’s cloth remains around the frame opening.

• Then, you have to cut the cloth diagonally in each corner turn the book’s cloth over the edge and attach it using a tape or cloth with the inner cover. This provides a clear opening to your frame. You can also be innovative by making a white border and cutting out a smaller opening from the first page. You can tape your picture to the back of this page.

• Though simple taping looks elegant, you can also try an alternative by using picture album corners or picture-mounting corners. Cut the hole that is a little smaller than the actual size of the picture, and use the corners on the inside of the book. You can also make these corners all by yourself by cutting the corners from some old envelopes.

Once your picture frame is ready, insert some nice pictures into it. You can share your favorite pictures by placing the frame on the end table so that everyone can have a look at it.
