This one has been up in our house for quite some time, but I still wanted to share it with all of you. We bought this window frame from an antique market for $6, then filled each pane with a photograph from our wedding. The panes happened to fit 8x10 photos, with an inch of margin around each one. The idea was for the photos to look like they are floating within each frame. We thought of buying a separate pane of glass to go behind each photo and "sandwich" the photo into place. However, we ended up going a much cheaper and simpler route by tacking each corner into place with a small square of Scotch tape! If you look closely, you can see about 1/8" of tape sticking out from each corner, but for simplicity's sake we were willing to compromise. The entire frame is hung with some nails and wire in the back, with a heavy duty hook. We get lots of compliments on this!

| The frame has some major imperfections, but we like the character they add. |
