Pedestal DIY Picture Frame Trio

Home Decor· Mantle & Tabletop· Wood

I decorate a lot with photos- so I am always on the lookout for unique photo frames. Recently I saw some chunky frames on pedestals that I fell in love with- but the boutique store price was a little too high for me. I did what any other semi-crafty person would do, and made some myself! I was able to customize the photo orientation and  frame size, and created a DIY picture frame trio – three pedestal frames for less than the price of one of the frames I saw at the boutique!

DIY-picture-frame-trio-Crafts-Unleashed-l0Supplies needed to make your own DIY picture frame trio:supply-list

  • 8×10 Photo Frame (If black frames can’t be found in all sizes-paint it to match).
  • 5×7 Black Photo Frame
  • 4×6 Black Photo Frame
  • 9″ Wooden Candlestick
  • 6.75″ Wooden Candlestick
  • 1.78″ Wooden Candlestick
  • Wooden Doll Pin Heads
  • Gorilla Glue (or other strong adhesive)
  • Black Paint
  • 3 Foam Brushes (with wooden handles) or 1/2″ Wooden Dowel, trimmed to 4″ sizes.

DIY-picture-frame-trio-Crafts-Unleashed-aThe first thing I did was create my wooden dowels for the DIY picture frame support. I am a huge fan of using what I have lying around the house. I used three wooden foam brush handles for my dowels. They are the perfect size, already cut. You could always trim a 1/2″ dowel for this step.

DIY-picture-frame-trio-Crafts-Unleashed-bBreak the foam end of the brush off and discard.

DIY-picture-frame-trio-Crafts-Unleashed-cInsert the dowel upright into the candlestick, and add strong adhesive.

DIY-picture-frame-trio-Crafts-Unleashed-dAllow adhesive to fully dry, and then paint the candlestick, dowel, and three of the wooden doll pin heads.

DIY-picture-frame-trio-Crafts-Unleashed-eAllow paint to fully dry. Remove the glass, and backing from your photo frames.

DIY-picture-frame-trio-Crafts-Unleashed-fDecide which orientation you would like your frames to be, and mark the center of the frame.

DIY-picture-frame-trio-Crafts-Unleashed-gApply strong adhesive to the center of the DIY picture frame (this is where the dowel will run) and the bottom of the center of the frame (this is where the candlestick will be positioned.)

Using clamps to hold the frame in place, allow the glue to dry fully.

DIY-picture-frame-trio-Crafts-Unleashed-hTouch-up any spots where the glue may have seeped with black paint.

Adhere the wooden doll pin head to the top of the DIY picture frame as a decorative finial.

DIY-picture-frame-trio-Crafts-Unleashed-iIf your DIY picture frame has an easel attached to the backing, remove it. Mine just popped off with a slight twist.

DIY-picture-frame-trio-Crafts-Unleashed-jReplace the glass, insert your photo, and replace the backing. (These will slide down in front of the supporting dowel.)

That’s it! A custom pedestal DIY picture frame trio for a fraction of the boutique price!
