Here are some craft ideas- picture frame ideas- for decorating wooden picture frames, just to help kickstart your imagination!

What do you think this photo frame is decorated with? I'll tell you, its simple old hand painting. Doesn't it look too good to believe that it is handpainted with attractive images of sun god! Just take vibrant colors and chose any picture that represents energy and vitality. You can also use it as a mirror frame by not fixing a photo but a small mirror in it.

This is a unique idea-a hanging picture frame- with interconnected photo frames of different sizes! You just have to sand all the frames lightly to remove any rough edges and paint them in different colors. Cut some flowers or other shapes from craft paper. You can make them three dimensional or buy ready made flowers from craft stores. You can further decorate the frames with pearl beads or flowers beads, sequins, etc.

This will make into a perfect Christmas gift. Just paint a wooden frame with any liquid paint that converts into an opaque solid film such as krylon. Get some artificial ribbon candy and glue it to the frame. Make 4 loop bow with red velvet ribbon and fix it at the corner of the wooden frame. You can even fix peppermints etc. to make it deliciously beautiful!

Although this is a product that is on offer for buying, you can get inspiration just by looking at it. Cut a simple wooden frame in a shape of anything (take a simple shape for convenience) and decorate it with crystals or other trims like sequins and beads. And if you are so attracted to this antiqued purse style crystal studded photo frame, that you can't wait to make it- just buy it!

And this is something really different! A wooden picture frame has been recycled to make a pocket board to hold notes and other mementos. Its so simple and yet so beautiful. Simple paper strips have been affixed on the white background to hold lightweight things. This not only lets you use some of your old frames but also convert them into beautiful wall hangings!
