What is something unique that I could do to the edges of picture frames?

Question

I want to make them look funky and unique.......I have lots of plain white frames that i want to spice up

Answer 1

check out www.sculpey.com

It's a site for polymer clay & it's got a bunch of ideas & instructions for embellishing all kinds of things (including frames) with clay.

Answer 2

Got any old puzzles around? Glue puzzle pieces around the frame covering the fronts of the frames. Add two or more layers and cover with clear gloss. I have also used old jewelry broken down into parts, beads and even spray painted sticks from the yard.

Answer 3

take a bunch of different colored yarn and remove the glass from the frame and wrap the yarn around the frame, you can do it tight so all you see is the yarn or loose so you see the white part too, use a good glue to secure either end of the yarn on the backside of the frame.
You can even thread on buttons or beads before you wrap it on. looks really cool.

Answer 4

I take different colored tissue paper, rip it up in small pieces and paint them on with glue. I mix some water in with the glue to make it thinner and so it doesn't get gloppy. I then just use a paint brush, put some glue on the frame, put the tissue piece on and cover it with more glue. You can do any colors your want and tissue paper is cheap!

Answer 5

I like people who look at plain things and try to envision something unusual.

I like to take ink stamp pads in gold or other colors, and brush them against the frame so the highest parts pick up the color. It makes it look antique.

nicely you may no longer unstaple the portray from the canvas, the canvas is the textile the paint is adhered to so which you would be able to desire to point are you able to take the canvas off the stretcher and that i say no. physique the whole element and you may purchase lengths of framing to in good shape exceptionally much any length canvas. or you may take it to a expert framer and that they'd custom-build you a physique to in good shape.

Seashells, tiny rocks, or for a pic of a sewer - buttons.
Decoupage pretty pictures of flowers, birds, butterflies, or anything that catches your eye, or apples, crayons, or toys for a child's frame.
