Tips for Resizing Thrift Store Picture Frames – ‘No Power Tools Needed!’ | #diy #TipsAndTricks
I have around 130 pieces of art installed in my apartment – my NYC apartment! A few dozen pieces are sculptures or even books/zines or 4D pieces like video files. But the bulk of my collection is 2D, and hangs on the walls. So I’ve put a lot of effort into framing things, and have also gone down the rabbit hole of wanting a baroque frame that simply costs too much money from a framer for the art it would frame, and had to find other ways to procure and make my own frames – I too have scoured thrift stores for nice-looking frames. And what’s nice about this video from Epbot is they don’t use any power tools to produce an awesome frame for their original piece of art:
Save money on custom framing by re-sizing cheap thrift store frames instead!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
