Most recently I shared with you <a href=\"https:\/\/sustainablog.org\/2015\/06\/the-no-sew-juice-pouch-wallet-for-kids-tutorial\/\">how I turned leftover juice pouches into wallets<\/a>. It was a fun way to reuse the durable, flexible packaging, and teach my children about recycling. But that was only half the waste problem. I also wanted to transform the cardboard boxes into something new.<\/p>\n<p>While you never can go wrong when recreating the sturdy boxes into storage containers and\/or children\u2019s building blocks, I tried something a bit different. I made standing picture frames\u00a0(above). I figured if cereal boxes can become frames then so can juice pouch boxes. The <a href=\"http:\/\/craftingagreenworld.com\/2015\/03\/13\/organize-it-with-cardboard-upcycled-cardboard-organization-projects\/\">corrugated cardboard<\/a> holds its shape very well and doesn\u2019t require any additional support to stay upright. Keep reading to find out how I turned a\u00a0box into a DIY picture frame\u00a0in a few easy steps.<\/p>\n<h3>Craft a DIY Picture Frame for Lasting Memories<\/h3>\n<p>For this project you\u2019ll need the following materials:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>1 empty, dry cardboard box, similar to the size of boxes packaging juice pouches<\/li>\n<li>Scissors and\/or Exacto knife<\/li>\n<li>Decorative paper (scrap paper or old paper gift bags would work great!)<\/li>\n<li>Glue<\/li>\n<li>Optional Embellishments (i.e. pipe cleaners, ribbons, rhinestones, paints, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Instructions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0Unfold your box so it lies flat on the surface.<\/p>\n<p>2. Cut off all of the flaps.\u00a0You should be left with a piece of cardboard measuring approximately 14 \u00bd inches long by 9 inches wide.<\/p>\n<p>Tip: If your box has a hole by the \u201cOpen Here\u201d punch-out, adjust the size of your cardboard to about 6 inches wide.<\/p>\n<p>3. Adhere the decorative paper to the brown side of your cardboard. This will help prevent the bright, colorful designs of the box from showing through your paper. Spray adhesive or multi-purpose glue would work the best. Trim away any excessive paper.<\/p>\n<p>4. Using your Exacto knife, cut an opening for your picture on either end of your cardboard. I cut a 4 \u00bd inches by 4 \u00bd inches in my cardboard that measured 6 inches wide.<\/p>\n<p>5. Adhere your picture to the inside of the frame.<\/p>\n<p>6. Fold your cardboard into a triangle or tent-shape. Be careful not to tear any of the perforations at the base of your frame, if this applies to your box.<\/p>\n<p>7. Glue the top of your frame shut. I used hot glue then used binder clips to keep the frame closed tightly until the glue sealed the two sides together.<\/p>\n<p>Tips: Don\u2019t worry if the logo shows in the middle; this detail sets it apart as a one-of-kind.<\/p>\n<p>8. (Optional) Add a personal, playful touch to your frame using embellishments. I made pipe cleaner flowers for my frame, but ribbons, rhinestones and paints are awesome too!<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of this picture frame project? I\u2019d love to know some of your ideas for reusing cardboard boxes?<\/p>\n<p>Photo\u00a0Credit: Talancia Pea<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once that juice pouch box empties out, turn it into a DIY picture frame.
