Picture frame structure for 12 photos

 

 

Materials needed:

12 wooden frames (5" x 7") - these were Nyttja from Ikea, they come in white or black

wood screws

a set square

a small electric drill

 

 

 

Align the frames like shown, in sets of 3 frames, making sure that they are at a right angle.

We will be making 4 sets of 3 frames each - 2 sets following the pattern below (landscape - portrait - landscape)

and two other sets following a portrait - landscape - portrait pattern.

 

 

The wood screws we used were 12 mm.

 

 

 

Drill 2 holes on either side of the middle frame.

Don't drill all the way through - only halfway - this minimizes the risk of the wood frame cracking.

 

 

 

 

Tighten the screws by hand to fix the frames together.

 

 

 

Make 2 sets following this pattern: landscape - portrait - landscape

 

 

and the 2 other sets following this pattern: portrait - landscape - portrait

 

Place the 4 sets as shown in the picture below.

 

 

Using the same method as before, attach the 4 sets to each other (drill and screw together), as shown in the pictures below.
