"Denim" photo frame
Each family has its own photo archive. The large supply of “most memorable moments” will never run out, moreover, it will be rapidly replenished with more and more new photos. Therefore, such a souvenir will both be liked and useful in absolutely any home. But making it will be extremely simple, and, most importantly, easy, quick and inexpensive.
Everyone probably has old jeans: it’s a pity to throw them away, but there’s nowhere to use them. These are exactly what will become the basis for our new photo frame. In addition, prepare thick cardboard, polymer glue, a pencil, a ruler, scissors and a glue brush.
As a template, take any photo of the desired size (this photo, for example, 15X21) to make a frame in a standard format. Trace the image on all sides and trim off the excess cardboard (at least 4-5 cm should be removed from each side of the photo).
Cut the jeans into narrow strips of different lengths (the size of each individual circle will depend on this).
Now grease the edges of the strips with glue and roll them into a roll. The glue will prevent the tape from falling apart inside and will hold it on the outside.
Next, lubricate one of the flat sides of these “twists” with glue and glue all the parts one by one to the cardboard. You will need a lot of such blanks.
Attention! When cut, the jeans become very frayed, so there will be a lot of debris and small threads. Do not cut fabric on a sofa or carpet; it is better to prepare yourself a “working area” in advance, which you can then simply shake out or clean with a brush.
After all the denim blanks are in place, cut off the protruding corners of the cardboard along the entire outer contour of our frame and give it a little time to dry.
And when the adhesive substance has completely hardened, cut the outer rounds from below along all the inner sides of the frame, slightly lifting the cardboard. Now the photo will easily fit into the resulting space.
Finally, the original photo frame is ready. If you attach a loop on the back side, the picture can even be hung on the wall.
