DIY-photo Cardbox..Done,...Phew!!

So not an easy task considering I did it all by myself.

The top gave me the hardest time and thats the best its going to look

Uh, I like black....can u tell? Helps take away from any mistakes I made along the way. I also did all my photos in b/w and photoshoped color into little things like my dress in one.

Think I should change the top to white??

TY everyone!

Ok Kath, I used like 5 different directions!!

I did do the frames myself and attached them w/ the 'L' brackets that screw in. That was a PITA!!!
I hotglued the bottom piece to the frame box. The top....uh, styrofoam but broke the 1st one,

..had to get more...did it again and added cardboard to top and bottom for support. That helped not 'break' again. The somehow added the material. It was tough!
