Do you have an old wooden window frame in your basement or attic? Is there one collecting dust in your garage? It is the kind of item you see at yard sales or thrift stores for next to nothing. Old window frames often have an unusual appearance that can add interest to your pictures. In this day and age of reusing old materials to make something new this is the perfect project for the green thinker.

Materials Needed:

  • Wooden Frame
  • Computer with family photos
  • Printer
  • Pen
  • Paper
  • Cardboard
  • Exacto knife
  • Ruler
  • Optional-Hanging hardware
  • Optional-Glass panes

Preparation

  1. Draw a small sketch of your window frame.
  2. Measure the openings of each pane of your window frame. Make sure to include the inside ridge the picture will sit in.
  3. On your drawing write the pane measurements in each space of your drawing that corresponds to the area measured.
  4. Cut a piece of cardboard for each pane matching the inside measurement.

Preparing the Photograph

There are two different ways to use your window. The first is to use a different photo for each opening. The second option is more dramatic and uses one photo that is enlarged and divided into sections to fill the window with one large photograph. Choose which option you would like and follow those directions.
