Concrete look upcycled frame

A very easy to make project that makes it a great gift to someone either by placing your stamped image or letting them place their own photos is this concrete look frame. Keep it simple as here or alter it further with other colour than the silver used and attach embellishments on the frame surface while the concrete paste is still wet to give you a completely different result.
