Retro Plastic Bottle Picture Frame

Ok so I have all this art laying around- some I've created some from friends or travels- and an endless need for picture frames to make them suitable for hanging around the house. I mean art doesn't really look right unless it is artistically presented. So I have been busy trying to find clever ways to make frames and this was one that came out especially cool looking.

This is super easy and uses all materials that you have lying around already- mostly stuff that would have been garbage anyways. All this takes is some plastic bottles, cardboard, paint, and glue. Super easy!

Step 1 Cut some plastic shapes

I used about three bottles for this and I cut mine into starbursts, diamonds and rounded edge loose triangles. I roughly sketched out the shapes I wanted then cut with a combination of xacto knife and scissors, trimming them if needed afterwards to make good looking shapes.

Thanks! I painted it in an effort to reclaim the downstairs bathroom from the certain death gloom it had sunk into this winter....
