Make an Orange Juice Picture Frame

The next time you have a picture that you just cannot find a frame for, stop rushing around looking at all the stores. Just empty out a carton of orange juice, rinse it, and make your very own frame.

Steps

  1. Empty a carton of orange juice.
  2. Rinse it out with cold water to remove the orange scent and residue.
  3. Dry thoroughly to prevent residue from growing
  4. Cut one panel off the carton carefully with a knife.
  5. Cut a hole about 3" x 4" (75 mm by 100 mm) in the center.
  6. Fold the carton in and out like you were making a fan in about ½" (10 mm) intervals from the edge.
  7. Punch holes in the top and bottom and slip a straw through them.
  8. Place your favorite picture inside.

Tips

  • When you "empty" the orange juice, empty it in a clean, glass/ceramic dish, so you or someone can drink it.
  • Buy different brands of orange juice to make a collection of frames.
  • Of course you can do the same with other heavy paper products, construction paper, 6-pack beverage containers, frozen food packaging, etc.

Warnings

  • Always ensure your safety when you are using a knife.
