I would like to repurpose or re-use some vintage photograph holders I have. They are cardboard/card stock type material. Maybe some how use them in a group? I have 2 more a bit larger than the onesi pictured. Any suggestion?

    There are many ways to re-use these. You can decoupage, paint and add new photos, colleges etc. Right here on home talk also shows posts you may like.Type repurposing vintage photo frames.

    If you want to keep original and have a large picture frame; I would hang empty frame without glass on the wall and put these inside of frame for their own special display in their original condition.

    fed ex would make copies of family heritage photos that would make one of a kind -something only you could give gifts-framed from thrift stores. very cool!

    Why couldn't they be used in a scrap book. There are so many other heavy or thick items they use now in those books.

    How about filling them with a favorite quote or scripture printable?

    You could print out some holiday sayings on vintage look paper and display them for the holidays. Jingle all the way, JOY, Merry Christmas, Baby it's cold outside, etc

    If I had them they would be used for displaying old postcards. They would also be good for making a collage in a big frame, find family photos of your ancestors then arrange in a frame.
