Old Picture Frames: What Can I Do With Them?

I have TONS of old picture frames – TONS. I am pretty set on making sure my frames in each of my rooms match. A lot of times I just spray paint the old frames so that they are all the same color – so that usually works out! However, I have frames with missing glass, latches, and huge chips. There’s a ton of stuff that you can do with these – which brings me to the purpose of this post!

Honestly, I’m amazed. I didn’t think you could do anything with toilet paper rolls! I am obviously proven wrong. I might have to try the toilet paper roll ornament, seriously! It doesn’t look anything like a TP roll when it’s finished! Oh – and I HAVE to do the pixelated boy. HAVE TO!

Man… this has got to be the weirdest post yet. I mean.. just thinking about using toilet paper rolls kind of freaks me out – but they have been crafted with! What a unique way to recycle!

ArtistsHelpingChildren always have an AMAZING tutorial list for just about everything! Check out their links for what you can do with toilet paper rolls!
