Taking advantage of Decorative Picture Frames
Pictures are memories, frozen in time. Sometimes they carry a lot of sentimental value, so it is sensible that we would want to frame them in a special way. Sometimes a very basic picture frame is all it takes to adorn an excellent photo, but sometimes we can accentuate these photographs, paintings or drawings with decorative picture frames. A lot of these can be made by embellishing basic picture frames available for you . This information presents a few ideas for creating your very own decorative picture frames.
One option is to paint a picture frame yourself. To make hand-painted decorative picture frames, you’ll need a basic wooden frame, preferably already painted a solid color. It is good, because it means you have less work to do in preparing the painting surface. Acrylic paints are a good medium to work in, especially if you are just attempting to do something basic, or are not a very experienced artist. With hand painted decorative picture frames, you literally get to choose your own adventure. You can create a wonderful Mother’s Day gift, for instance, by painting “World’s Best Mom” on the top of a basic frame, and doodling, in paint, various sketches that are very important to your family. Ideas might include hearts, soccer balls, flowers, fruits, or band-aids. Really, anything that reminds you of mom. It is a very basic way to make your own decorative picture frames with meaning.
Another idea for creating decorative picture frames is to do some type of decoupage. For example taking images or photographs from magazines, documents, newspapers or your own photo albums, and cutting out pieces to paste together along the edges of a frame in a collage of sorts. Your local art supply store can help you pick out the right kinds of pastes and sealants, but this can result in very beautiful, unique and personalized decorative picture frames. This type of technique is particularly effective when framing quotes, or photographs of one individual.
A very fun and spunky way to create decorative picture frames can be to use different textures as your adornments. Select jewels, beads, chains or feathers, and paste them in several angles and patterns along the edge of the frame. This tactic is particularly cool, because it allows you to make entire sets of decorative picture frames for use in a room. For instance, if you’ve a room done in creams and gold, you can create an entire set of picture frames with crystal and gold embellishments along the edges of the frame, and put black and white or sepia tone pictures inside to complete the room!
