Standing Picture Frame
Instructions to make a picture frame to sit on a table top from old Cd cases.

Materials Needed:

  • 2 CD Cases
  • Construction Paper
  • Glue
  • 2 Photos
Instructions:
Cut 2 piece of construction paper into squares that will fit into the cd case. Cut a square out of the center of each square. Glue a photo into each hole (figure 1).

Put a dab of glue in each corner of your squares, on the sides that the picture is facing out. Open the cd cases and stick your squares on the inside of each cd case cover. Close the cd cases. Glue the top edges of the cd cases together (figure 2). A hot glue gun works great for this.

You can decorate the completed standing frame if you like. You can add stickers, ribbon, lace around the edges, glitter, etc.
