Children's Photo Frame Ideas
Create a delightful hanging frame for your child's photo from a common kitchen utensil. Tie a colorful ribbon through an open-ended cookie cutter that is shaped like a star, heart, flower, bell or apple. Insert the photo into the cookie cutter and hold it into place with glue dots or clear tape. Making frames can be a fun family project. Let the kids make their own creative picture frames by gluing macaroni or pasta onto cutout cardboard.

Masculine Frames
Frame his favorite fishing portrait by hot-gluing fishing lures around the front edge of the frame. Glue colorful tees around the frame to display his golf picture. Think of other small items to personalize his frame such as word game and puzzle pieces, postage stamps, dice, theatre or opera tickets, playing cards, coins and memorabilia from school or travel.

Feminine Frames
Create a picture frame with style and personality. Glamour girls love glitz and glitter. Spray paint an old frame with shiny metallic paint. While the paint is still tacky, sprinkle with glitter. Add faux jewels, sequins and beads for extra sparkle. Any woman would love a pretty mosaic frame. Assemble colored paper squares and paste them on an easel-backed cardboard frame. Paint the frame with a protective coat of decoupage finish that dries clear. Insert photo, add a cardboard backer and a thin magnetic strip.
