I read azoodie's post on the photo gift box. I made one too! Thought you may want to see how mine came out. My dad helped me put it together. I got the frames at Walmart for $3 (I wasn't going cheap but they were the only ones I could find that were the right size and fit 2 pictures) and painted them from black to white. The whole thing cost me literally $13 to make. I am so in love with it!

Azoodie if you need help getting it to stick together let me know!

Sorry the pics are so big

No, dad used the L shaped brackets and drilled them into the frame on the inside and then the wood. You may want to use flat batting to put on top of the styrofoam then your fabric.

You mentioned that yours will spin? My family and I thought of this but weren't sure how to make it work...any ideas? Thanks and good luck with this project!
