I have to say it again — I adore all things tiny, and these itty-bitty photo frames are no exception! Whether you’re a scrapbooker or a dollhouse/miniatures fanatic, these wee frames are just too much fun. Add to that the fact that they are SUPER inexpensive and EASY to make, and it’s a win-win-win situation!!
Project Estimate:
- embossed foil stickers, 6/$1 (in the scrapbook section)
- tiny photos (I used Photoshop to shrink mine, and printed at home)
- double-stick tape, on hand
- scissors
I started with a sheet of six foil embossed stickers from the dollar store. They come in a few different metallic tones — this photo shows two of the available tones.
I picked a sticker I thought would make a nice frame and simply cut around the edge I liked.
All the fancy scrollwork around the edges is fun and funky, but not the look I was looking for. Back to the scissors!
I like the fancy corners! But, if that isn’t your style either…
…keep cutting and make it even more simple.
I love them all — but the top two are my FAVORITES!

Too freakin’ CUTE! I have plans for a tiny mantel scene, and I’m totally adding this to my to-do list. And I’m going to share it on my new dollhouse miniatures blog as well – http://ittybittyteenytinythings.blogspot.com :)

Oh… My… Gosh! Soooooo Cute! I love these and I love Maria’s idea of using them for jewelry. I have a brand new niece and I see an adorable baby photo charm bracelet in my sister-in-law’s near future.
