DIY: Accordion Picture Frame From DVD Cases




Dinner and a movie? I prefer crafting and a movie! Next time you're watching your favorite film, transform the DVD case into a handmade picture frame. DVD cases make great frames, with their thin black border and clear plastic cover that creates a glass-like shine for your photos. Attach two or more cases to create an accordion-like frame, perfect to display on that empty mantle!

Materials: DVD Cases — Cards, Decorative Paper and/or Photos — Small Hinges (found at craft or hardware stores) — Small Brads — Glue Stick — Glue Gun

Steps:
Pull out the paper jackets from the DVD cases and turn them over so the white side is facing up.
Using a glue stick, attach your photos/decorative paper to the white side of the paper.
Slide them back into the cases.
Insert the brads into the hinges.
Using a glue gun, attach the hinges onto the edges of the DVD cases to connect them.

And voilà! Share your creation with our Facebook community and subscribe here to receive our weekly DIY projects via email.
