5 Ways to Reuse: Picture frames

- Wrap fabric around it and turn it into an entirely new piece of art. This works best with wooden frames, just wrap the fabric around and neatly staple the corners onto the frame.
- For smaller, 3x5 frames with the glass still in them, hot glue a piece of felt or fabric on the bottom and use them as shiny new coasters
- Display your recipe cards as you cook, memos as you type, or sheet music for an impromptu music stand
- Use it to serve drinks at your next soiree
- Deconstruct it and use each part: use the cardboard backing as package cushioning or a fire starter; save the glass and use it when future frame glass breaks; if the frame is broken, reconstruct it with a screwdriver and glue, or simply re-stain it or give it to a child as an art project, and hang it on the wall.
As always, our favorite suggestions are from you, (you shrewd, eco-minded craft mavens, you).
