Need help from the DIY girls!

I want to do a photocard box but I don't know where to start - anyone have instructions? I already have the 4 8x10 frames and the matting and pictures - but what other supplies do i need? What is the best way to attach the frames to each other?

Any help is appreciated!

i think if you get a big box, preferably the size of your frames and cover that in a material you like you can glue the back of the frames to the sides of the box.....and then just add little details around the edges of the frames like rope or anything like that to make it blend into the box

get 4 frames the same size, and either gule gun them together (after photos are inserted) or nail them together. Then cut a foam board to fit the top to make it solid on top. Cut a whole for card slot. Wrap with fabric to make it pretty. Bottom can be a Lazy suzzane or just a flat bottom to move around with out cards coming out.


I know there is instructions on the DYI board somewhere.
