The Easy Way To Make A DIY Picture Frame Stand

I recently bought some picture frames I wanted to display on a shelf rather than hang on the wall.

The frames didn’t have a stand, so I designed my own unique DIY picture frame stand using wood slices.

They were those lovely double-sided glass frames that are so popular now. You know, the ones with glass and front and back, so when you hang them on the wall, you can also see the wall behind.

The only thing is that I didn’t want to hang the frames on the wall; I wanted to display them on a shelf. That’s when I designed a picture frame stand for them using wood slices.

I thought the design of these frames would be perfect for pressing and displaying flowers. The natural look of the wood slices with the DIY picture frame stand, and the press flowers added to the Boho look.

The two frames I used for this floral Boho decoration were lovely hexagon-shaped ones.

The DIY picture frame stand will also work with a regular-shaped picture frame. I even made one for my framed denim feather.

What You Need To Make A Pressed Flower Photo Frame Display

• Two wood slices – the size depends on the size of your frames the one I used was 5-6 cm in diameter.
• Wood glue and grip tape
• Double-sided hexagon shaped glass picture frames
• Saw
• Small fresh flowers

How To Make A Unique Picture Frame Stand

Step 1: The first thing you need to do when making the DIY picture frame stand is to saw one of the wood slices in half.

Step 2: Next, apply wood glue to one side of both halves of the wood slice and stick it to a second uncut wood slice. Leave a gap between the halves that is wide enough to fit the picture frame.

Step 3: Whilst the wood glue is drying, wrap the wood slices in tape to hold them in place. Remove the tape once the glue has fully dried (usually overnight).

Step 4: The final thing to do with this DIY picture frame stand craft is to decide what to put in the frame. As already mentioned, I wanted to continue with the Boho feel of the wood slices and decided to put pressed flowers in my frames.

I cut some small pink petaled flowers from the garden and arranged them in the frame. If you want more ideas for arranging pressed flowers in frames, there are some here.

I’ve seen lovely displays of flowers and leaves in these glass frames. The frames are kind of like a curious cupboard for flat objects.

All that is left to do is put the DIY picture frame stand with the pressed flowers on a shelf or mantle for some lovely DIY Spring decor.

The pink flowers I chose for my frames look like the DIY Marimekko pillows I made last week. It wasn’t intentional, but I must have pink flowers on my mind.

You can easily buy wood slices online, or if you are lucky enough to have a chainsaw, it is very easy to cut your own.

I love to use wood slices in my crafts and DIYs for their natural look. When trying out a chainsaw at a Ryobi tools event, I acquired a big bag of wood slices. Watch this space for more wood slice crafts.
