1. Minimalist Wooden Stick Frames
If you love clean and simple design, minimalist wooden stick frames are perfect. This project uses wooden craft sticks, bamboo sticks, or branches to create lightweight frames that pair beautifully with modern, Scandinavian, or boho decor.
Start by measuring your artwork or photo and cutting sticks to size. Use hot glue, wood glue, or twine to connect the corners. For a more rustic look, leave the wood natural. For a polished finish, add a light coat of stain or matte paint. These frames look especially good for botanical prints, line art, or monochrome posters. Because the materials are extremely cheap, you can create multiple frames at once and build a large gallery wall.
Another benefit is that these frames are very light and renter friendly. You can hang them using double sided adhesive strips or command hooks without damaging the walls. This makes them ideal if you frequently restyle your space or live in a dorm or apartment.
