THRIFT FLIP - Google Home
A Simple DIY Frame Hack
Want to make your Google Home look more stylish? With just a few simple tweaks, you can transform it into a framed piece of art!
What You’ll Need:
🖼️ A 3 1/2” x 5 1/2'“ picture frame (I thrifted mine for just $1!)
🔪 X-Acto knife & pliers
🛠️ Velcro Command Strips
Step 1: Prepare the Frame
Start by removing the backing board of your frame. If it’s glued in, use an X-Acto knife to carefully cut along the edges and pop it out. Next, take pliers to remove any metal hanging hardware or turn clips—this ensures the frame sits flush against your Google Home.
Step 2: Attach the adhesive
I originally used velcro Command strips (seen below), but decided to switch them to these velcro mounting squares and it holds the frame much better. Attach them to the sides of the frame and make sure they’re evenly placed so the frame sticks securely. If your frame is heavier, consider using extra pieces for added hold.
Step 3: Frame Your Google Home
Peel off the adhesive backing from the mounting squares and carefully press the frame onto your Google Home. Hold it in place for a few seconds to ensure a strong bond. Adjust as needed, and step back to admire your upgraded, art-like smart speaker!
✨ And just like that, your Google Home blends beautifully into your decor!
