DIY Can Frame

DIY Can Frame

Rather than just have your pictures hanging on the walls, why not think of off-the-wall ways to display them? And while you are at it, why not involve your kids and have some fun?

One great idea is a simple DIY photo frame project from Photojojo… the CanFrame.

The CanFrame is one of the most off-the-wall creative ways I have seen to present pictures and yet, it is easy enough for you and your kids to do together.

All you need are the following:

A great photo – Panoramas work best, but regular photos that can be cropped wider than they are tall also work well.

Metal can – Soup, beans, oatmeal, anything with a label should work. We've used tin cans and plastic/glass jars.

Acid-free rubber cement – We used rubber cement, but stronger stuff will give better results with heavy photo paper.

Scissors or cutting blade

Tape measure (or a ruler and a calculator)

Rubber bands>

And in 5 easy steps: Measure, Print, Cut, Glue and Tie, you will be ready to show-off your CanFrame.
