DIY Frame Shelves

This is such simple project, and a great way to reuse old frames or to dress up cheap frames.  Start with some old frames. You can buy it at 1 dollar store.

 Start by taking the glass and backing out and removing any hardware on the back leaving a blank frame.  Then,  measured both sides of the frames.

Next, you will need some 1×4 boards. You will make two cuts for each side. Each frame will be different, so just cut yours to size.

Add a line of  wood glue and use my a nail gun to make a box from these pieces. Use 3 nails on each corner like this.

Your finished box should look a bit like this…

You can see how it measures the same as the opening of the frame…

Next,  use a line of wood glue around the edge of the frame like this…

Lay the frame on top of the box and you can use 1 1/4″ brad nails through the frame and into the box to hold it together.

The finished boxes should look like this…

The final step is painting them.  Before you do that, use a bit of wood filler to fill all of my nail holes.

Paint all of the boxes and frames with spray paint color.  I used white

Once they dry,  hang them up.

Here is how they turned out!

Enjoy it, Like i did
