I was inspired grocery shopping at Aldis, when I saw a display of decorative duct tape. The duct tape was all bright colors and patterns and I thought how adorable, then “What could I make?” As soon as I saw the red polka dot duct tape, I knew it was perfect for creating a picture frame for my LoveBug Crafts.

The Duct Tape Picture Frame can be used in so many fun ways. It’s a great craft for adults or teens and would make cheap Christmas gifts for teens to make. This craft is great for creating birthday party decor, perfect for teachers in the classroom, or a scouting troup. Crafting with duct tape is brilliant because if it doesn’t come out right, you can peel it off and try again.

Let’s Create a Duct Tape Picture Frame

Choose what size frame you would like from the Dollar Tree. Then take the frame apart, so you are just working with the frame and not the glass.

Then cut one piece of duct time at a time (I just measured it along the sides of the picture frame). I did the 2 long sides first and then the 2 short sides.

Adding Duct Tape to Picture frame for Home Decor

For the corners, I cut the end of the duct tape at an angle and trimmed it in the back to lay flat. In the inside corner make a small diagonal slit.

Complete all 4 sides and now your duct tape picture frame is ready to display your favorite picture or hold a sign.

I think the possibilities are endless all you need is duct tape and a dollar store frame to create something unique that will make fun home decor or as Christmas Gifts.
