I love printables…love making them to share with you guys…love downloading them…love using them in our home. They are one of the best ways to decorate an area of your home quickly and CHEAP! There are so many free printables out there!
The issue I was having is how to display printables after you download them. Just short of putting them in a boring old frame, I was at a loss. I wanted a way to display printables on my wall, easily switch them out when I find new ones….not to mention, I wanted it to look good.
Enter the DIY poster frame. I’ve made a version of a DIY frame with supplies that I already had on hand + some super cheap wood boards from Home Depot…seriously, they are only $1.55 each and you only need 2 for each frame.
You can really customize your frame by staining or painting the wood whatever color you want and you can make these in different sizes if you have, say, a poster you wanted to hang versus a small printable.

Hi Chelsea!
Thank you for this tutorial, I’ve always wondered how to make these at home and never got the energy to figure it out on my own! I have a question printables! Do you have a favorite type of paper to use? I feel like regular computer paper isn’t nice enough, but I don’t know what else to use? A gloss cardstock maybe? What are your thoughts?
Thank you so much!
For this I used regular copy paper and just doubled up two sheets on these frames because I didn’t have anything else at the time, but if I had my choice, I like matte cardstock paper for printables.
