1
Decide how you want to display the photo or photos in your frame. You can make a collage of smaller photos or enlarge one photo to fill the entire space.
-
2
Remove the frame's glass and clean it with glass cleaner, being careful to avoid any rough edges. Place the glass back into the frame.

3
Turn the frame so it is a horizontal rectangle. Drill the drawer handles into the short sides of the frame to create tray handles.
-
4
Glue or tape the photos to the cardboard insert, which is the piece that sets into the frame to create the frame's back.
-
5
Place the cardboard back into the frame. Seal the frame edges with glue if you want the photos to remain permanent or just use the frame's closures if you want to change the photos in the future.
