How to Make a Colored Pencil Picture Frame


What if you could turn your average box of colored pencils into a brilliant picture frame that gets comments from everyone that sees it?

That'd be pretty awesome, right?

What if I told you that you could easily make several of them in different sizes using really inexpensive or recycled materials and be able to show them off by this weekend?

That would be double awesome, right? :-)

Well, that's exactly what you'll discover in this new tutorial.

You see, I've always wanted to make something using these pencils, and I remembered seeing one of these frames somewhere a little while back. I just knew I could probably make an even cooler one myself.

So I got busy in my Diy Dork Headquarters trying figure it all out. I emerged with a frame like the one you see over there on the right.

Once I knew it was possible, I spent a couple of weeks measuring, cutting, & scratchin' my head until I figured out how to make 3 killer styles of colored pencil frames in 3 different sizes.

I made sure to take tons of pictures & notes of everything I did. Plus, I even made a buch of drawings on my computer of all the parts & layouts I made. That way, it would be really easy for you when you make your own.

I packed it all up together all nice & tidy to create this new Diy Dork Tutori-O for you.

Ok, so that sounds pretty cool ... but what exactly is included in it?

Well, you get:
