Picture frames can be hot sellers at flea markets, thrift stores, rummage sales, and on sites like Craigslist and Marketplace. If you don't want to use them for yourself for various DIY projects you can sell them or donate them. Here are some ideas if you want to be inspired!

They can be spray painted and use as a decorative wall idea. Get some wood cut to fit them and turn them into trays, or turn one into a chalk board or jewelry holder. Here's a link with more ideas:

I would donate them to an art school, rehab or senior citizen center to be used for craft projects. A very good way to feel good about decluttering and putting them to great use.❤
