Vintage Postcard Gallery & DIY Matte Frames
$30

Easy
Do you have a stack of random sized postcards or photos or other momentos laying around that you have no clue what to do with? I had that problem too. I bought some vintage Detroit postcards with the intention of hanging them, but could never find the right size matte frames, and when I used different sized picture frames I didn't like how non-cohesive it looked.
Initially I didn't even think of custom mattes because I've always heard they are expensive to have done, but I decided to go for it myself and, well as you can see, they turned out pretty amazing!
See how I made my own custom Matte Frames in my tutorial link below!

Yes I was wondering what I could do with them. I too, have old postcards of Detroit landmarks. Looking forward to trying this!

Very nice and uncluttered looking wall art. Thanks for the idea. I’ve been looking for an idea to display some of my fun NYC pics.
