How do you repair a picture frame?
+2
I have a picture frame that is the usual 8x10. And as usual, it no longer stands. The “kickstand” on the back LOOKS fine, but no longer supports the frame in an upright position. I’ve taped it because I thought it would help. No. I see screw -like circles, but no way to tighten.

You will most likely fine that the plastic where the screws are screwed in have broken off. If that is the cast I have used a silicone sealer to keep it all together.
Hi Ethel! Try these links listed below for assistance. I have also glued my frames as well. Have a happy holiday season!

I'd toss it and go to a dollar store or a thrift store and get another one. I've seen beautiful silver ones for a dollar at thrift stores.
Ethel, Use some duct tape to make a kickstand, it will hold the frame in place. Aloha!
I thank you all! I did entertain the idea of trashing the frame, but it’s just so perfect for my room. So, I’m going to view the videos that Betty kindly provided and if the process is too much for me, I will replace just the back of the frame. Sometimes, as 2Dogal suggests, it’s just time to scrap it and move on, lol! Anita and Ebbjdl, tape and glue is ALWAYS good for me too!
Thanks again folks.
