Hello, beautiful people, and welcome back to my corner of the web. Today is the first day of November – so I hope you’re all ready to enjoy the last non-Christmas themed post you’re getting from me! As of tomorrow, Santa is here.

If you guys read my DIY crystal shadow box ideas post, you may remember that I went on a bit of a photo frame haul. (And, yes, you should go check out that post. Super cute wall decor ideas to be tried!) I didn’t just pick up shadow frames, however – I bought a fair few pressed glass ones too.

Now, we’ve all seen flowers in pressed glass. And, sure, it’s cute. Very cute, in fact. However, we are not basic bitches here; we like to switch it up a little bit. Improve on the ideas we’ve seen here, there, and everywhere – and put our own personal touches on them.

So today, I wanted to share with you 6 unique and beautiful DIY ideas for pressed glass frames. Let’s do it!

IDEA 1 – Paint Directly Onto The Glass

If you’re a skilled painter, you could get really creative with this idea. However, if you’re a beginner like I am, have no fear! I came up with an incredibly easy artwork idea – and all you need is a base colour and a fine line paint marker!

IDEA 2 – Paper Butterflies

Our next idea is another one perfect for beginners. (And those of you who also like Canva!) You don’t need any fancy equipment, other than a printer – and the butterflies I used were straight from the Canva library!

IDEA 3 – Collage Artwork

Anyone that’s been following me since my mainly-bullet-journal-content days will remember my obsession with collages. I don’t know why, but I freaking love them.

There are definitely better ways you could utilise collages in pressed glass frames – but, for a first attempt, I quite like how this boho frame came out!

IDEA 4 – Memory Frame Gift Box

Ah – the post that kicked it all off! My hanging memory frame pressed glass post was the first DIY project I ever shared on this blog. How far we’ve come!

This is a really fun way to display photos of family and friends – especially Polaroid snaps!

IDEA 5 – Boho Habit Tracker

I shared this post with you back in January and it’s actually an IKEA hack! Not only does this craft make for a cute boho home-decor piece; it’s also functional and practical for day-to-day life.

IDEA 6 – Dry Erase Daily Whiteboard

One of my favourite ways to utilise cute photo frames of any kind of to make a dry-erase whiteboard. These are such a practical addition to any household – we use whiteboards for daily to-do pads, meal planning, important notes and more!

Again, these are super easy to create – all you really need are dry-erase whiteboard markers!

I hope all you lovely people enjoyed these ideas. As you may remember from my last post, an office makeover, I have featured some of this artwork on my gallery wall! If you want to see that in action, have a watch of my makeover video below.
