(virtually) no-cost picture and frame

I love making things that cost nothing, or where the cost is negligible.

This picture is a good example. It is made from a cut out picture from a magazine, plus a little balsa wood and some laminate.

I've used felt tip to avoid white edges around the picture, and have coloured the frame with wood stain to give an aged look.

    I love looking through magazines for usable pictures. Shipping tape is what I use to cover the photo. Your frame looks awesome!

    I think the frame goes so well with your picture, both looks like they have been around for a long time.

    Hi Julie: I really like your site - lots of great ideas! I recently started building a Magpies kit and have started a construction blog for it. Hope you'll check it out sometime. Pat S.
