Synopsis

Display your mementos and photographs, favourite collections or crafts by making them into attractive and original framed three-dimensional pictures. 3D box frames are an effective and unusual way to display pictures, memorabilia, crafts and trinkets. Although shop-bought box frames of many dimensions are readily available, they are very simple to make, and even ordinary 'flat' picture frames, wine boxes and other containers can be adapted, as this book demonstrates. Once you have your frame, the ideas to fill them are limitless: there are 16 step-by-step, illustrated projects to try, and a wealth of extra ideas, alternatives and tips. Stylish and contemporary photographs of the completed displays give inspiration, not just for making them, but also on the variety of ways the frames can be finished and displayed.
