Simple Ruler Frame
This simple and cute photo frame is SO easy to make, using two pieces of wood and a ruler–no glass involved!
It can be used to hold several photos, a recipe, a note to a loved one, a shopping list or how cute would this be as a teacher gift with a cute photo or note tucked in it! Â It’s a super fun gift idea for teachers, grandparents, friends, and more!SUPPLIES:Â
-two blocks of wood 3/4 in. thick
-ruler
-1 1/2 in. brad nails or some type of nails to nail the blocks together.
-5/8 in. brad nails
-Miter Saw
-Brad Nailer
1. -Cut a block of wood for the back piece 7.5 in. long by 5.5 in. wide
-Cut a block for the front piece 7.5 in. long by 1.5 in wide
-A ruler cut the same length as the blocks pieces 7.5 in. Â long
2. Paint your blocks the color of your choice & stain your ruler.
3. Stand the Back Piece on its side horizontal, lay the front piece in front flush with the back piece. Â On the Back of the Frame, nail the two blocks together using a Nailer and 1 1/2 in. brads. The nails should be coming from the back of the frame and being shot towards the front block.
Next  Remember to…
(Change out your size brad nails to a 5/8 in. brad for this next step)
4. Â NOTE on this next part, only nail the ruler down at the very ends of the ruler using the 5/8 in. brads. Â The middle portion of the ruler cannot be nailed down. Â This is where the photos are tucked behind the ruler to hold them down.
Sand the edges and lightly stain to antique it if desired! Â Project complete!
