Awesome! I was thinking when I try it out I might not glue the back plate so deep, so that I can add two loops of elastic to hold the older pictures and store behind the new picture!
Thanks for sharing how to make these!! I truly appreciate your time, sharing of knowledge, and humor :) "Under Pressure", "hi Matt!", brought me a grin 😀, and caused me to click that 'Subscribe' button. I have 3 youngsters, and 2 of them are mega artists 🎨. These are going to be a huge help, a sweet relief for our suffering fridge, and corkboards 😆 Hope you, and those you love, are doing great!
I love this. Thank you!! Glad you appreciated the video and found it helpful (and glad you caught the “Hi Matt” lol). Hope you and yours are awesome as well! Thanks for the comment and subscribe!
Thank you for sharing! In contrast to another tutorial I saw, I like that you do not buy two frames to make one. Now, that's a sturdy, frugal, Dad Style frame! Leaving out the glass screen also means you'll never have to wipe off any fingerprints. However, as a mom who doesn't mind using the µfiiber cloths I got, think I will not fill in the stacked cardboard like you did but rather attach an elastic-band railing (as seen on etsy) so store a handful of swap pages or also allow some softly supported wiggle room for 3D stuff to back up a little behind the glass.
Just found you based on a search for DIYS. Been interested in an art change display for my daughter, but didn't want to spend even $20. This came out great! Thanks for the inspiration! New subscriber! 😁
Hi there sorry for the delay. RU-vid seems to have stopped notifying me of comments ugh. My cost breakdown was about 15/frame but I also had a lot of materials on hand. You could certainly add the acrylic back in for sure. I wouldn’t use glass just in case they fall off the wall while switching the art. Good luck and share a pic with me on Instagram (@madebyap81) when you’re done!
You could probably cut two rubber bands in half and then staple them to the bottom frame (on the inside) so the bad stretches over the cardboard spacer. The only issue with that is you could potentially crease the old artwork because the spacer is smaller than the frame. That’s the only thing I can think of. I will say though you won’t want to keep too many in there because spacing will become an issue (ie the magnets won’t be able to latch). Hope that helps!
I’d just be hesitant of having the glass in there. It’ll add weight to the frame so when you open it it’ll be more likely to fall off the wall. And god forbid one of the kids are changing their own frames and the glass shatters. I’d just keep it glass free but that’s just me!
