Free Printable Picture Frames

Nik Minor
While it may sound cheesy, some of the best gifts come from the heart. Sure many moms and dads would prefer a brand new kitchen or entertainment center over a handmade jewelry box. But unless you've got lots of siblings willing to go in on the gift, the handmade jewelry box may be more in your price range. Fortunately, personalized gifts don't have to be doomed for the landfill. Nor do they have cost you a dime. In the age of the Internet and freebies, creating free, quality picture frames is a breeze.

Print them on magnet paper to affix to the refrigerator. Or print them on card stock and glue them to a wooden frame of the same measurement. Or use as a border inside of a frame. Then print different borders to be switched at the end of each month.

HP's Activity Center is an excellent resource for finding free, printable projects that are a step up from many of the free printables found online. In particular, HP has a photo frame template, the Basil and twill 5 X 7 family photo frames, which can accommodate up to four of your favorite photos in order to create a mini collage. Choose between a basil or beige frame, and then add accents and captions to personalize the frame. Or choose the Kung Fu panda frame, the Latina spiritual frame or the Volunteer frame. You can also make baby books and photo albums using a variety of templates.

    Nik - this is such a great resource, thanks for sharing it. On a side note, please forgive me while I catch up on reading and commenting as I wade thru the 500+ accumulated emails in my inbox. If I have missed something you wrote while I was away, I promise I will find it (eventually!) and leave my mark. Cheers :)
