After a few frustrating days of trying to find out how to get pictures printed on styrene, I gave up and opted for a little twist on the photo display.
First find picture frames and fabric. I got my frames at Michael's (don't forget to use a weekly coupon). Go for a colored frame to add a little personality to your walls. I was going to buy wood frames and spray paint them red, but instead found red wood frames on sale! I also found my fabric on sale at wal-mart one random day when I wasn't even looking for it.
Take the glass out of the frame and flip over the frame-back on a piece of fabric. Cut the fabric with about a half of an inch (on each side) larger than the frame back.
Fold over the fabric around the sides of the frame back and secure (either hot glue or tape the sides down).
Next I found wooden blocks that I spray painted a neutral tan.
(Also got the spray paint on sale at Michaels.)
Here is the final product! It's perfect for our empty entry-way wall!






britt i really wanted to try that also (from enjoying the small things) but had no idea where to print the pics on styrene. good idea to use blocks and a normal pictures instead! :). i need to do this one day!
