Ribba Gallery-Style Floating Picture Frame

I wanted picture frames where the picture “floats” in the center of the frame, but they were surprisingly expensive (25€+ for small frames) and didn’t come in square sizes. I then had the idea to make three hanging “floating” style frames out of square Ribba picture frames. This Ribba Gallery-Style Floating Picture Frame hack uses the following: 6x Ribba picture frames (23x23cm) 1x Ikea Räcka curtain rod and rails Behandla glazing paint (white) Hanging chain and hooks (from hardware store) I bought six Ribba frames (to make 3 finished frames), removed the cardboard backing from one frame and replaced it with glass from the second frame.

I decided it was time for a makeover with a map. I’m a bit obsessed with maps and recently discovered a fantastic free website Mapbox.com where you can zoom into any city in the world and print a map of that city in any style you like. My favourite city is my home city, Hong Kong. So using MapBox I got a map of Hong Kong in blue and printed it out.
