How to Make Photo or Picture Frame Holders Out of Forks

This project is so easy and very inexpensive. It's a wonderful way to recycle and reuse an everyday item and will make your special photos even more so. Read on for this how-to and have fun!

Things You'll Need

• two (2) forks (non-matching design, but handle and prong length should be the same)
• pair of pliers

Instructions

1. You can find these forks just about anywhere, thrift shops, flea markets, garage sales. The vintage forks have some really pretty designs, but you may prefer a sleeker look; it's totally up to you.

2. 

   Using pliers, bend both the outside prongs of forks down and under.

3. 

   Bend the two inside prongs of the forks up into a half-curl. (The lip of this curl is where your framed photo will rest.

4. Grasp handle of forks with pliers about 1" from start of handle. Bend both forks the same in a downward motion so that the fork balances on tip of handles and also on the outside prongs. You may have to do a little experimenting to get it just the way you like it. Now, place your photo and you're done!
