DIY Wooden Photo Frame

Had some spare time this weekend and a bit of wish to impress my partner. So went ahead and created these pallet photo frames to flash some of my magic on her..

Items required

One of my mate gave me these pallet planks from their broken bed, which I am going to use in making the photo frames.

Other than that, for this project we need:

Pallet Wood

Protective equipment like:

Face mask : Amazon

Glasses : Amazon

Gloves : Amazon

Sanding Tool : Amazon

Hammer : Amazon

Measuring Tape : Amazon

Nails

Handsaw or Chop-saw : Amazon

Knife : Amazon

Pliers : Amazon

Pencil : Amazon

and Paint of your choice : Amazon

VELCRO Removable Picture Hangers : Amazon

Wood Cutting

Since the pallet planks are very well sanded and polished, I did not had to waste my time in sanding an polishing them.

I wanted to keep the size of my frames pretty standard so I cut them into 14"x19" blocks.

Using a chop-saw I cut 45degree angels on both sides of the plank.

Joining The Blocks

Using wood-glue, I am joining all the pieces that I extracted from the pallet planks in the previous step. I added a bit of masking tape to hold the pieces together until they completely dry up.

Coloring

On my way back from work, I found these amazing pieces of art lying along the roadside. Things like these, really fascinate me.

I painted one of them black and another one brown. Then, using hot-glue I attached them to the base pallet plank. I also glued an artificial flower pot, which I bought from a nearby local shop for $5.

Putting Up On The Wall

To hang the frame, I am going to use “VELCRO Removable Picture Hangers”. By using these, I don’t have to drill any hole in the wall, and if the setup doesn’t look good here, I can just pull it out and paste it somewhere else in the house.

So, this how my final setup looks like. Do comment and let me know if there is any scope of improvement.
