Hardware Store Decor: DIY Frame Project for Posters and Art

by on Sep 15, 2010

To celebrate the release of Make It! Hardware Store Decor, we decided to look back into the Curbly archives to find some great hardware store-inspired posts. First stop, this Curbly video showing you how to make an easy and inexpensive custom poster frame.

An attractive frame for artwork always beats thumbtacks or the sticky stuff, but custom jobs at the framing shop come with sky-high prices, often more than you paid for that wonderful screen print from Etsy or the perfect vintage concert tour poster. So, skip the frame shop altogether, and head to the hardware store for this easy and customizable DIY to protect and showcase your favorite pieces.

Don’t dig on the industrial look of the exposed plywood? No worries. Just cut your substrate to the same size as your art, and you’re as clean and contemporary as can be.

Head here to watch the video and see how it’s done!
