I enjoy challenging the notion of what a photo frame should be. On a recent junking trip, I scored a vintage tennis racket and press. At first glance, I instantly saw a FRAME!
All it took was a little stain, some acrylic plastic, a plastic cutter and some photos. I'm still looking for a nifty mat board, possibly made out of fabric or contact paper, but for now - using plain file folders from the home office will do. Sue, my future mother-in-law, gave me two other OLD rackets and now I have a TRIO! The photo theme (there is always a theme) is 'Lucy takes the field'Check out how to make them on my projects page!

Cute, but what's Lucy's #, where's the Jersey?
I like the photo frames! Looks like a lot of work; but I'll keep it in mind with the Yard Sales this summer!
(BTW: take off your March Madness watch entry, unless you have it on DVR)...
Nic-
Frames turned out nice!
Your bicycle planter looks great, as well!
Did you ever search for toile on ebay?
Here's from Wikipedia's How-To series:

That project looks NEAT.
I've heard about using a stack of OLD books for a vintage looking vase.... but never a frame.
I'll have to TRY it out! Thanks for sharing....
NICE... but the frame on the door?? I don't see where the pic goes?
hi jon, actually the racket on the cabinet door was a BEFORE photo.
The frame is the AFTER photo.
I used the wooden 'press' that came with old wooden tennis rackets to make the photo frame.
Ciao!
