I am a picture frame hoarder. The best ones I find are the ones that are just the frame - no back, no glass, etc. However, my hoarding tendencies are bugging the fireman and if we're eventually going to move, I need to find new purpose for my collection, and fast! Here are some snazzy ways to upcycle old picture frames that I found online. I really, really like this fist one. I think I may even love it,
Alot.

| This one is a plastic potholder loom and dental floss, but there's no reason you couldn't use finishing nails and string and make some cool string art that's also a memo center in a wooden picture frame. |
 |
| A thin piece of wood and some chalkboard paint, and you've got the cutest memo board on the block. Better yet, paint chalkboard paint over metal cut to size and you get a chalkboard that also holds magnets. |

| I love this trendy frame key holder because I can never, ever find my keys. Right now I'm pretty sure they're in the pocket of the jeans I wore two days ago. Yikes! |
 |
| Make a picture frame wreath for your front door - or really, any door. My mind is racing with the possibility of doing one for Halloween or Christmas. |
What are your favorite ways to recycle / upcycle old picture frames? Any fun crafts to share? I'd love to hear all about them!
There was a pin on Pinterest that had all types of letters a-z from photos. I grabbed a few I liked to spell out our last name and plan to use 5 frames to frame them up and hang them side by side.
