Frame Makeover & Interchangeable Photo Collage

I confess to being a mammarazzi and taking lots and lots of pictures of my kids. The problem is that they sit on my phone or computer. I make a yearly family photo book, so that helps, but there are still lots and lots that never get printed.

I have two frames in my dining area that have had the same poster prints in them for 6 and a half years. I think it's time for a change! I also recently downloaded the Shutterfly app (not a sponsored post) where you can easily print 4x4 photos from your phone- these can be pictures from your iphone or your Shutterfly albums.

Frame makeover meets new photo app for a fun project!

Frames before

Here's what I bought:
Burlap
Spray adhesive
Glue dots
24 4x4 pictures
I already had the two 16x20 frames

Using Spray adhesive, I glued the burlap to the back of the frame (the part that it usually hidden by the picture). Then, I reassembled the frame.

Using glue dots, I stuck the pictures in a grid pattern. I didn't even measure so some pics might not be exactly in line, but I haven't seen any big mistakes yet ;) I tried using double sided tape to hang the pics, but glue dots stay much better because they adhere to the texture of the burlap better.

I didn't put the glass back in the frame, but you could if you want.  I also didn't use permanent adhesive (like hot glue) because I want to change the pictures out often. My plan is to order a few pics at the beginning of every month so that we always have new pictures to look at.
 

Frames after

These frames hang in our eating area so it makes for fun dinner conversation to talk about the fun things we are doing in the pictures. All in all, this quick and easy project makes my mammarazzi heart happy!
