In the past, photographers displayed photo frames with bubble glass by placing photos between a rigid backing board and convex bubble glass. They used six to ten nails to secure these layers. The glass rested on the frame’s lip, creating a dome effect that enhanced the photo’s appearance while providing protection.
The techniques to create bubble glass involve heating glass to a pliable state. Craftsmen then inflate the glass, forming bubbles that vary in size and shape. This process requires skill and precision, as the bubbles must be formed without compromising the integrity of the glass.
When displaying bubble glass photo frames, consider groupings on walls or shelves. They look stunning when arranged in varying sizes. Additionally, using them in combination with other frame styles can create an engaging visual contrast.
As we explore display ideas further, we will consider various environments and styles that enhance the charm of bubble glass photo frames, allowing them to become focal points in any space.
