Recipe for Picture Holder


Pour buttons into shallow dish.
Add snapshot.

I found this idea in a magazine, although if I recall, she used dried beans.


I used buttons.


Mostly, because I have more of those than beans.


They hold up wallet size snap shots very well.

I love the idea...that way you can change what you want to feature. How do you keep the corners from curling?

I think this is a wonderful idea. Here is anothe rone (I happen to love floral frogs) use a floral frog for photos or cards.

When I have done this in the past, they haven't curled. I used to use those wire card holders, and they did curl on those. Backing them with cardstock helped some.

I don't have any wire frogs. I look at them all the time! I do have the glass kind, holding my marbles. Of which, I have lost a few.

beautiful! are there close ups of those pictures somewhere else in your blog? I seem to remember the one on the left.

Steal away! The idea with the beans came from an old Steptember issue of Home Companion, late 1990's.

I actually thought I'd posted a close-up, but now I see I posted the same picture twice. I'll try to fix that.

Angela, the picture on the left IS on my blog - it's my mom and dad's engagement picture. The one on the right is THGGM's mom's family, taken in the backyard of the house we lived in for 12 years.
