Time travel with distressed wood frames

You must have your memories stacked up in old photo albums. But do you remember where you last kept your photo albums? Did you dispose of them the last time when you were renovating your house? If you did, then you flushed away a set of memories unintentionally.

How often do we regret it when we shift from one house to another and misplace such little treasured items? It’s always has been the case of remembering practicalities and forgetting beautiful memories. You must have already realized that the shelf life of your photo album is as thin as your capacity to remember. Hence why not rather give the remaining photos a new life – let’s make one important decision: let’s panel them.

Going beyond distressed wood frames

Apart from selecting the most convenient form of time travel, distressed wood frames, one could also find solutions in recycled objects. E.g. Photos can be pasted on the covers of old hardcover books. You can collect twigs from your neighbourhood, glue them all together and make it a nice little photo frame. Or even better it would be if you can gather a small block of wood from the neighbourhood.

It becomes a great alternative to distressed wood frames. The only problem shall be that it will be difficult to find similar blocks of wood. So when you will use this technique for arranging numerous frames, this idea will fail due to a lack of rhythm in between the design. You can also use your clothespins to frame your favourite photos or coloured tape.

Distressed wood frames give nostalgia its true essence. So make a wise design choice and frame your memories. You can find distressed wood frames on the digitalpaper.shop website.
