In every house there are at least 1 - 2 photos that you do not want to store in the album. It is desirable that they are constantly in sight, before your eyes. Some are dear to us as a memory, while others we want to impress the imagination of those who come to our house. For example, as we bravely saddled an elephant while in India, or jumped with a parachute, or we feed sharks in the Red Sea - each of us has memorable pictures.
Frame for photos from wood or baguette
Therefore, the frame for a photo is made different, from a different material. You can make a wooden frame to place the photo on the table, or you can - in the form of a picture on the wall. By the way, beautiful frames with magnificent photos you can draw the whole wall of the room, make them an element of the overall design. It is for these purposes well suited widely distributed baguettes, which close the joint of the wall and ceiling. Baguette is used for frames of pictures, but it is also perfect for photos. If there is no baguette, you can use at the bottom of the ceiling skirting) - but this is already a budget option. Such baguettes are made of soft material, are well and evenly cut, glued together, and have an attractive appearance.
Depending on the size of the photo( and, consequently, the required frame size), a baguette is selected. Baguettes are sold in different widths, so you should choose it so that the framed photo with the photo "looked".To join pieces of baguette they must be cut at an angle of 45 degrees. Smooth cuts can be obtained either with a hacksaw for metal, or cutting with a sharp knife( a knife for cutting paper is suitable for this purpose).For gluing pieces of baguette with each other( at an angle of 90 degrees), you can buy glue to fix the ceiling skirting.
Do not worry if there are small crevices between the edges of the resulting frame. This is possible if the edges of the cut are not exactly flat, or if the angle was chosen somewhat incorrectly. Such small slits are well masked by a white sealant. To give the frame an elegant appearance, it can be painted with acrylic water-based paint, for example. If there are several such frames, they will perfectly decorate, for example, any niche.
Please note that the glass is not inserted in this frame. Therefore, you need to think about how to fix the photo so that it does not slide down, or does not fall out of the frame at all. There are several options. You can use small hairpins, which are used for fixing, for example, men's shirts when packing. Everyone met a lot of such pins when unpacking a new, just bought shirt. You can make the frame a little smaller than the photo and paste the photo from the back side. But then it will not be possible to remove it. In principle, everyone will be able to determine how best to strengthen a photo, there would be a desire.
Frame for photo from cardboard
If you need just one frame, then you can make it from a thick cardboard. Perfect shoe box - you need a lid and a bottom. By the size of the photo( with allowance for the stock), a frame is cut out. On the reverse side, from the sides and from below, it is necessary to paste thin strips of the same cardboard. It turns out some "pedestal", on which the back wall is pasted.
As a result - a kind of pocket, in which the top and will be inserted a photo. To make the frame of an attractive cardboard appearance it can be pasted with colored paper, cloth. There is no limit to imagination. You can also provide a "leg" for installing the frame on the table surface. Then, when cutting the inner part of the workpiece, a whole strip for the stand( from the top of the frame) is left.
