Having Fun With Ikea Frames

By ZolaClaire

If you are looking for a great way to display your photos for a very low price, then you gotta love Ikea and their little 4 x 6 inch frames that come in a pack of 3 for a buck 99. They’re not much to look at right out of the package, but what a great starting point. Combine them with chain and S-hooks or leave them as individual frames. It's an afforable way to experiment and have some fun.

In this example, three painted frames were combined with I-hooks and tiny washers.

See Image below

Top and bottom: Little tiles were cut into even smaller segments then glued to the frame with a tile adhesive then grouted with either a black or a charcoal color.

Middle: An Ikea Frame (with glass removed).

Far Right: Pinto beans were glued to the frame then it was sprayed with two coats of flat black paint and a coat of polyurethane.

Far Left: Frosted gems (that reminded me of beach/sea glass) were adhered to the frame then grouted with a sandy color.
