There are several ways to make photo tapestries. One option is to purchase pre-made pictures and use those as templates for the border design. However, many people like the idea of using their own pictures and putting them together. After all, if you have never created your own picture border designs before, it can be very difficult to get the perfect design. It is much easier to choose a picture frame or two, and to make some borders yourself.

For those with no artistic ability, there are plenty of ways to create picture borders. One of the easiest ways is to buy an inexpensive frame, or find a picture frame that has the picture already in it. You can then write the border design on the back of the frame and then use that as a guide. Some frames will have an adhesive on the back for the border design, and others will require a sewing machine for the best results.
