Picture in a Picture: Fun Photo Project

Brass Ring Photos for Your Photos

Just about every house in the world has photos: photos of kids, grand kids, parents, grandparents. Photos are popular and people are always looking for new ways to display them. There's a fun and easy way to show off a favorite photo, while displaying a second picture right on top of the first! Sound strange? Once you create your own picture in a picture you'll see it's not strange, but unique and fun. Look at any craft store and you'll find a variety of brass rings for crafting. The rings come in many sizes and several colors. It's easy to find gold tone, silver types and shades of brass. These rings make it easy to create your picture in a picture.

All you need to start the project is a photo in a frame. The frame should be at least an 8"x10" size. Smaller sizes work if you can find really tiny brass rings. The ring size should be proportionate to the size picture you're using. A large ring on a small frame will be too dominating. A small ring on a large frame will be too small. Cut a picture to the size of the brass ring. Glue the picture to the backside of the ring. Now mount the ring to the larger framed photo. Mount it in a bottom or top corner, depending upon the picture itself. Make sure that the ring and photo doesn't cover anything important in the framed photo. Instead of brass rings you can also use decorative shower curtain rings. These are much different than brass rings. The rings are one solid piece where the shower curtain rings have the hinged area where you can open it to hook on a rod.
