A Rustic Frame Made From Scrap Wood For Under $1.00
When I build projects, I save any left-over bits and pieces that I think I can use later, whether I have something in mind at the time or not!
This project is totally from my bits and pieces bins.
This project is totally from my bits and pieces bins.
I used a piece of scrap pallet wood, that came out of my bin measuring, 4 3/4" wide and 9 3/4" long, I left it that way so that I had plenty of space to add some decoration to it. Use what you have. You may have a scrap of pine or plywood, it doesn't matter as long as it is larger than your picture. Sand it and clean it up.
TIP - When I take apart a pallet, I use a reciprocating saw with a blade that cuts through metal. After I have finished cutting up the pallet, I use an awl and tap it in the nail holes on the back side of the board and the cut portion of the nail falls out the front. I have saved hundreds of these rusty nail heads and I reuse them in lots of projects.
These make great customized gifts. Let me walk you through the whole process. Visit my blog post for everything you need to know and more!
