Its an Art Nouveau style frame that was stuffed in a drawer at my Mums' house for around a decade which she then passed to me but for some reason neither she nor myself had the heart to bin it, although the odd shaped spaces for the photo's to be displayed made it virtually impossible to find pictures to fit!
Then suddenly I had the urge to drag it out of the drawer and do SOMETHING with it! Even if it were just to donate it forward to a charity shop.
Then it clicked! So I removed the glass and glued some wadding onto the back, then I covered the insert with black silk fabric using my staple gun and popped it back into the frame and there you have it! A vintage style display for my collection of brooches.
The odd little shaped apertures for photos are now something that give the whole a little more interest instead of being an awkward frame to fill. Very happy with this little re-purpose and it only took about 20 minutes. I think you could probably use any variety of frame for the very same purpose, it's up to you!
