10 Unique Items to Frame (That Aren't Just Pictures!)
A frame adds instant appeal and importance to any piece of art. But all those lonely frames in your craft closet don’t have to wait for traditional posters and photos. Check out these unique picture frame ideas to liven up your space:
1: Maps
Got a special place you love to visit? Turn it into a piece of wall art with a beautiful map print. It can be a map of a city, a theme park, your alma mater, or even a zoomed-out view of your favorite road trip. We love this DIY version by Bless'er House!
2: Handwritten Notes
The value of a handwritten note only grows over time. Treat it like the one-of-a-kind piece of art that it is by framing and preserving it.
3: Fabric
Fabric is a powerful tool for adding color, depth, or texture to any room. Most people choose throw pillows or blankets to do the trick. But if you find a perfect pattern, you can also add it to your walls. Fabric is one of the cheapest ways to dress up a space if you use it in a frame. It takes very little fabric to do this, not to mention very little effort. Check out this great guide from The Spruce.
