DIY Newspaper Frame



        They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so shouldn't your pictures be surrounded by thousands of words? Well, that was my inspiration for this easy frame idea!


Supplies: 
1. Picture Frame (I've found cheap but good quality frames at thrift shops)
2. Scissors
3. Newspaper 
4. Sponge Applicator
5. Mod Podge (I like the Satin finish)

Step 1: Remove the back, glass, and any other hardware from your frame so that all you are left with is the frame

Step 2: Rip pieces out of your newspaper, they don't have to be the same size! Try to get a variety in the size and shape of your pieces


Step 3: Open up your Mod Podge and start gluing strips onto the frame, mix it up, have text going every which way, make it organic

LOL, what a great picture, huh?

Step 4: Apply a coat of Mod Podge to the parts of the frame that are covered with the newsprint, let dry for 15-20 minutes


Step 5: Apply a second coat of Mod Podge; let dry for 15-20 minutes, aaaaaaaaand.......

You're finished!


Enjoy your new newspaper frame!
