[...] Frames Within a Frame – My client wanted a way to display more photos of her new bundle of joy in the bedroom. She also had a large vintage frame she wanted to use in the room. This is a great project for making a big statement! This version by Becky Higgins uses a large frame she made and painted, wall paper, and some smaller modern frames. Instead of wallpaper you could also use fabric for the background. [...]

Thank YOU so much Becky! I am a recently graduated college student and still live at home with my mom. Our walls are really tricky and trying to hammer anything into them is a nightmare and produces huge holes which means I am not allowed to hang anything without her supervision or our handyman’s help. I’ve tried using the 3m sticky picture hanging tabs but never the velcro tabs. This may be my saving grace. I have so much wall space that is blank with all my pictures in frames and posters either behind doors or under my bed. I can’t wait to get started!

P.S. The Captcha code is the worst! I must have tried more than 20 codes before it took one.

Loved this idea but it was hard to pull off. I first found a 2×4 framed picture for $8 at the thrift store. No one had wallpaper in stock so I opted for fabric instead. Took the canvas off the frame (painted frame black) then had Hobby Lobby cut a piece of foam to fit my frame and wrapped fabric around board foam and stapled it on. Then stapled the foam to the frame. Found 8 5×7 black frames at Big Lots for $3 each and printed black and white pictures to go inside. Because the command strips don’t work on the fabric I am nailing through the foam to the wall. Lots of holes but I don’t care. Happy with the final result but it costed much more than I thought it would and took weeks to complete because of the road blocks I encountered.

Anyone have a guess to the size of the yellow frame? And size of the smaller ones? Tx

Thank you so much! I know that this is an old post, but you’ve just saved my family room. My husband are so annoyed by some frames that just won’t hang straight and now we have a solution. Thank you, thank you.
