Re: DIY Photo Boxes....HELP.
Pick 4 frames of same size you prefer to use. We picked 11X14 (since we're having a big wedding) from AC Moore.
Enlarge 4 pictures to put in these frames. (you can probably enlarge a regular picture, or ask someone to create a photo collage w/ various pix).
Put these 4 pictures in the frames - put it aside for now.
Go to Home Depot, pick up 2 things:
1: L Brackets
2: Wood for the base.
(L Brackets: used to attach the 4 frames together and to attach the wood piece to the 4 frames.)
After attaching the 4 frames with the L Brackets, you get an idea of what size wood you need. So just buy a regular size, and you can cut it at Home Depot, so it fits perfectly to the base.
You can also pick up foam or wood from AC Moore (or Home Depot) also for the top of the Card box. Cut the foam to fit perfectly on the top (it should be a lil smaller) so the wood or foam will fall into the box, and put 4 L brackets inside, so it stops the wood/foam from falling too much.
Before putting the top part, make sure you cut a hole (diagonally) to put the cards in. Make this long, so incase pple get you one of those big cards, it should still fit.
you can decorate the top however you feel like, with cloth, ribbons, bows, ... whatever u like...
HTH!
