Smart: a mini easel for photos and the like from skewers ;-)

Self-made Photo Frames
In the instruction they show how you can make a photo holder with few items.

Inchie Frames
I find as well fabric inchies as well paper inchies beautiful, but I never quite knew what to do with them.
Now I know it: I have to frame them ;-)
They embellish ready bought frames in the instruction, but you can always make your frames yourself ;-)

Pumpkin Photo Holder
Ok, it’s not pumpkin time yet, but you can’t begin too soon to prepare ;-)
Besides it doesn’t have to be a pumpkin photo holder, you can make this without a doubt with a water melon, too ;-))

Actually it can’t be too hard to make those card or photo holders from fork yourself!?

Corner Photo Frame
I would have never come up with the idea of putting my photo in such a corner photo frame but I really like it.
Not the shown design ;-)), but why not making the thing with Advent motives or matching your furniture or the like?

Origami Photo Frame
A dear friend sent me the link to an Origami instruction for a photo frame.
I’ve seen several before which didn’t really impressed me, but of course I took a look at the tutorial:
I’m amazed!
My friend wrote that you can put a postcard or a 10 x 15 cm photo in a frame made of a A4 paper sheet and that a 7 x 10 cm photo fits in a frame made from a A5 paper sheet.
I find best of all that you adjust the size of your photo frame exactly to your photo in one of the last steps and this way you can even make it fit a not-so-exacltly-cut 10 x 15 cm photo.
What is more the frame is easy to fold.
What more could you ask for? ;-)
Here I show the back of the frame.
When folding you create an (amazingly stiff) triangle that serves as frame stand.
Here you can (hopefully) see that the photo frame can only stand if the picture is in landscape format, a portrait formatted picture has to be hung at the wall or put into a photoholder.
First I thought about making the frame from patterned paper but then I found it a little bit silly because you can only see the four corners on the front side.

Tray from Picture Frame
I found an instruction on how to turn an old picture frame into a tray (German).
They painted everything, but I thought: Why not ‘using up’ my crochet stars lying around and make something really kitschy for once? ;-)
I didn’t hammer together anything yet, but I may.
That is to say I’m not sure how much kitsch I really can bear ;-))
They use a new orange glass panel from the glazier and some paint on the frame. Additionally they hammered a wooden board to the backside to give it some hold.

Printable Photo Frames
I found a Japanese website (translated) where you can download photo frames to be printed and fold by yourself. Some look really nice, I find.

Crazy Quilt Photo Frame
Once I wanted to make a photo frame for a friend. There are so many ways to do this, but then I got an idea I still find great ;-))
I used a simple glass frame as seen on the second photo that I already had at home and glued a kind of Paper Crazy Quilt with two windows for the photos onto the glass.
I used flower photos from an ad as paper and the only embroidery stitches I used where the zigzag stitches, because I wanted it to be simple.
