The benefit to creating your own picture frames is that you can customize them to any space in your home! Having free cardboard lying around doesn’t hurt either! Who doesn’t like a cost effective home decor project?
After the cardboard picture frames have been measured and sketched onto scraps of cardboard, begin cutting out each frame.
To make easy work of this, we used a quilting ruler. This made it really easy to create straight edges and perfect angles.
A utility knife works great for cutting through the cardboard, although it works even better if you begin with a new blade!
(For safety, we made all of the cuts so the kids wouldn’t get hurt.)

What a great idea! I believe using empty boxes is a responsible option for our landfills. With Amazon deliveries daily it seems boxes multiply out of control! I will use this technique. Thank you, ladies.
