Creative Reuse: Photoframe out of Calender !

Nothing is waste if you’ve got the brains and just the right eye to see it! 

I had an old table calender and decided to reuse it as something more useful, for what use is an old calender for.

Viola! This photo frame came into being.

Materials Needed:

An old table calender
A thin cardboard like material.
One black chart paper ( for base)
One chart paper of any colour of your choice
Quilling strips

 

The Process

Step 1:

Remove all the pages from the calender.

Step 2:

[image error]After removing the pages, cover the front of the calendar with black chart paper.

[image error]Cover its the back with the second chart paper that you have, different coloured one.

Step 3:

[image error]After you have covered the calendar, take the thin cardboard that you have and cut a frame border from it of  your choice. Here. I have cut out a geometric shape, kind of like a parallelogram.

Then cover this frame border from the colored chart paper that you, the one you used to cover the back with.

After you have done this, paste this frame on the photo frame base that you prepared from the old calendar from three sides. Leave either right or left side unpasted for photo to slide through.

Step 4:

[image error] Make designs out of your choice from the quilling strips.

Arrange and paste them in beautiful design on the photo frame.

If you don’t want to use quilling technique, you can always decorate the frame anyway you want. It’s entirely up to you.

Step 5:

After you have decorated it according to your taste, your beautiful Photoframe is ready now.

Keep crafting.

And remember.. nothing is waste. Reuse, Reduce, Recycle… Save Environment.
