The main two types of collage picture frames

Viewing pictures of loved ones has a way of warming the heart. Whether it is seeing your parents at their wedding, seeing your daughter or son with their own children or seeing a beautiful sunset that you shared with your significant other; photos have a way of touching our past and incorporating it into our present. Collage picture frames can be used to display any past event that we wish to remember. These picture frames are a versatile way to display photos. They come in a large array of colors and sizes and most are made of either wood or metal. It is very easy to organize your pictures into the frames. There are two different types of collage pictures frames: standard and matted.

Standard collage picture frames tend to have a more decorative feel to them. Each picture is divided by a metal or wood piece used as the photo divider. You can use these collages on a wall or on a tabletop surface. You can get very creative with them especially if you decide to do a theme. For example, perhaps your child loves to ride horses. You can display a montage of them with their horse. You can even find may beautiful frames with a horse already on them. Or perhaps you want to give a collage picture frame as a gift to a friend for their twentieth birthday. You can collect pictures of them from grade school and from high school; maybe they participated in a certain sport, maybe they performed in a ballet recital or maybe they loved playing the piano. You can group these pictures together with pictures of them graduating from college or pictures of them with their friends on various outings. The possibilities are endless.

Matted collage picture frames tend to be only one frame but they come with a colored mat that includes cut out holes for displaying photos. You will need to use photo corners or linen tape in order to keep the pictures securely in place. You can also use scotch tape if you are not concerned about damaging the edges of the photos.

Another interesting display that you can do using collage picture frames is a landscape display. If you enjoy taking photos of mountains, valleys or sand dunes to name a few, you can create a stunning montage of pictures to display in your home. Such a collection of pictures is certain to get a lot of positive comments. Or perhaps you prefer still photos. If so, you can do a beautiful array of pictures with fruit or vegetables or anything else around your home that you choose to use. Collage picture frames have many different uses and you will enjoy the creative aspect of assembling your photos into a stunning work of art.
