So many pictures, so few frames. Everybody loves to show off their favorite pictures, instead keeping them in a shoebox in the closet. Having individual frames for each picture is not only space consuming, it's money consuming. That's why the latest trend is collage frames.
Instead of each picture having its own individual frame – expensive – you just take a bunch of your favorite pictures and put them into a collage frame. It's easier to mount, it's more interesting to look at, and it'll save you money. It's also fun. What's not to like?
Custom Collage frames are great for showing off lots of things besides pictures. How about greeting cards during the holiday season? Or graduation cards when the kids graduate from high school? Collages make any group of assorted cards interesting. Some people even display their baseball cards in collage frames.
There are different kinds of collage frames.
The traditional collage frame is one large frame with several places to put individual photos.
Lately, more modern styles offers multiple picture frames joined together to form one large collage frame. This helps to give each picture its own identity, while the same time keeping them as a unit.
Customized Collage frames online make a great gift, especially for family members. Pick out a beautiful frame and fill it with pictures from a graduation, a wedding, a vacation or a special family event. It makes the perfect, thoughtful gift. And, off the record, it's relatively inexpensive. Or, just get the frame itself and suggest a collage theme.
Another popular way to populate collage frames is a time series, using pictures taken over multiple years to show the growth of your children during their school years, your family as it grows, or even the houses you lived in over the years.
Just as with individual frames, the frame itself can be made of wood, metal, or plastic. Wood frames are more likely to call attention to the frame itself, while metal and plastic tend to fade to the background and let the pictures predominate.
When choosing a collage photo frame online, the biggest consideration is the pictures themselves. Obviously, you need to find a frame that will fit the pictures you have in mind. Particularly with collage frames, the whole idea is to let the pictures tell the story.
Since many people consider collage frames and the pictures they hold – art, another good approach is to think about the space you want to occupy, either on a table or desk, or on the wall. Lots of people fill up an entire section of a wall with multiple collage frames, eventually displaying dozens and dozens of photographs.
With collage frames, there really are no rules. The mixing and matching and mashing together is part of the fun and appeal. Take six photos and mix them together in a collage – and you've gone from six good photos to one great collage. The mashup itself is part of the appeal, and a lot of fun.
Collage picture frames for wall hanging and collage photo frames are great for displaying pictures in various sizes like 5x7, 8x10, 4x6.
You can use any common theme to design a collage frame layout. Friends, workmates, family members, guests at a party – they all make good candidates for a collage.
