Your frame of reference is what you see. – Jacque Fresco
Freeze Frame (you know there is always a song)…..
Frames can highlight a family moment, a lost relative, a memento, or maybe a painting of a time gone by. It is like a piece of jewelry; it accentuates what is already there.
“The frame enhances but is not itself the subject of attention.”
But can the frame be more than that? Can it be the star?
Here are 18 upcycle frame projects that will inspire you to use them in a whole new way.
Plus, frames are super easy to find at yard sales, thrift stores, free piles, or in our own closet.
