Sisters Are Doin' It For Themselves!

Ok. This is possibly THE easiest decorator idea EVER. The mismatched frames look is everywhere right now, but to make them look that little bit more uniform and suit your own decor, you can customise them however you want, and it's SO cheap (which we love!).

First, find some old photo frames, and to be honest, it really doesn't matter if they've got glass or not, but try and stick to one or the other for the complete collection, it'll add to the uniformity of the whole design.
Make sure they're not dirty or dusty and not covered in detritus, and wipe them over with a damp cloth.

Pick a colour to spray your frames, white is always a winner, but black or a bold colour can create a dramatic effect on your wall or shelf! Place your frames face-up on some old newspaper or plastic sheeting, and spray away! (For a shabby chic effect, wait until the paint is dry and sand lightly over raised edges for a worn, vintage look)

Once your frames have dried, pick out a favourite design of scrapbooking paper, or wrapping paper, or fabric (all different ones for different frames if possible - but ones that will look good together) Cut them to fit the frames, and pop the backs back on.

Next, set them out on the floor and arrange them in a cluster, but so they all fit in and around eachother snugly, and plot some spots on the wall to hang them! You'll need some nails, and a hammer, and you're done! If you live in a rental you might be better to put them on shelves, an equally fantastic look!

For an equally effective and beautiful look, you can choose not to fill the frames at all, they look great all clustered together with the wall showing through, but you might want to go for differing shapes, thicknesses and textures, just to keep things interesting.

Alternatively, you could spray them all different colours, or colours all varying in the same hue.

There really are no guidelines or rules to this, the sky is the limit! Use old photos, or new photos, or even little objects in the frames to create the desired effect!

Get creative lovelies!
