Want some inexpensive picture frames for your decor, but don't want the expense? Save your calendars and select florals, scenes, etc. to accommodate your living decor. You may have to crop and cut them to fit behind the 5 x 7 and 8 x 10 inch opening mattes. Buy cheap frames and you have your own inexpensive artwork. Great in groups of three in a hallway, etc. You will be able to afford to change them with the seasons for a different look! These make nice little friendship, hostess, or housewarming gifts too.
Note: I would not suggest selling these for profit as there might be copyright laws involved.

My husband worked for a paper company and got some beautiful samples of paper with artwork and calendars. I saved a really big calendar with a beautiful photo of flowers, lots of red in a black vase. I ordered a bunch of old gold wooden frames on ebay and found that one of them fit the photo just fine.
I painted it black and rubbed off some of the paint to let the gold shine through. Then I modge-podged the photo to give the illusion of an oil painting, so it didn't need glass. I did put it on a mounting board. It hangs in my entryway.
