Picture Frame Centerpiece

You won’t believe how quick and easy this DIY centerpiece is to make. Just grab the supplies, add your photos, and glue the pieces together.

But the best part about this simple DIY is that you need just handful of supplies from the dollar store to put it together. Here’s what you need to make your own picture frame centerpiece for your party:

• Picture frames. I used 4×6 frames for my centerpieces. All the frames were from Dollar Tree! You can use any size you want depending on how big or small you want your own centerpieces to be.
• Foam square. To hold the decorations inside your frames, you’ll need a piece of floral foam. Just cut the foam to fit inside the frames, then add your fillers!
• Fillers. I used graduation picks and some glittery sprays to decorate my centerpieces. But you can easily change out the fillers to fit your own theme! Keep reading to get some more filler ideas at the bottom of the post!
• Hot glue gun. Construct your photo frame centerpiece with the help of your hot glue gun. For a more permanent option, you can also use super glue.

How to Make a Picture Frame Centerpiece

Now that you have all your supplies gathered up, it’s time to get crafty! Follow these quick and easy instructions to make your own frame centerpiece for your party.

The first step to creating your centerpieces is to add your photos to the frames. While you could add them after the centerpiece is constructed, it’s much easier to place the photos in the frames before you start gluing.

Once you have all your photos added, I suggest removing the stand from the back of the frames. This will make more room inside the centerpiece to hold your fillers.

After that, you can start gluing! Place a ribbon of glue along one of the inside edges of one of the frames. Then, press another frame into the glue. Hold the frames together until the glue dries.

Repeat that process with two more frames. Then, glue the two sets of frames together. Make sure to allow the glue to completely dry on each seam before gluing another seam together!

While you wait for all your frames to dry, you can put together your filler. Trim your floral foam piece to fit inside the square between your frames. Then, arrange your filler in the foam. Make sure to measure the height of your frames so the pieces of your arrangement stick up above the top of the centerpiece!

Now that you have your arrangement ready to go, you can add it to the center of your centerpiece. I would wait to place the fillers inside the frames until you’re ready to decorate for your party. Since the foam piece will simply rest inside the frames, it’s difficult to move both pieces together.

Once you have the foam piece in place, you can adjust the filler pieces as needed until they look great!

Picture Frame Centerpiece Filler Ideas

Now that you have your framed center piece ready to go, the filler possibilities are endless! Keep reading to see some fun ways you can decorate your picture frames after you’re finished putting them together.

These filler ideas are a great way to customize your centerpiece to suit your event:

• Flowers. Add some floral pieces to the center of the frames to add a feminine touch to the frames. You can use faux flowers by sticking the stems into the floral foam. Or add fresh flowers to a small vase or mason jar and place the jar inside the frames.
• Lights. Add some battery operated candles or fairy lights inside the frames to create a fun lighting effect on your tables.
• Balloons. Hide your balloon weights inside the centerpieces for a fun way to decorate a kid’s party.
• Holiday picks and sprays. Turn your centerpieces into holiday decorations for Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter, or Halloween by adding seasonal decorations as your filler items.
