I love having photos of my family everywhere in the house. I live far away from everyone and remembering them makes me happy. You can get free prints pretty much anywhere I chose a Shutterfly coupon and only had to pay for shipping. I don't have money to spend on fancy picture frames although HomeGoods and Target always has a pretty nice clearance section to choose from. So I found various frames I already had and some I found in the trash, basement, and attic and refinished them.
Since I love to hang a lot of photos I decided to make DIY photo collage frame.
Here is what I did:
- Remove glass and backing.
- Spray painted/ varnished and distressed the frames.
- Added hooks to each side so I could run ribbon through them.
- Depending how many rows you would like space them accordingly.
- Ran ribbon through hooks and knotted each end.
- Bought and varnished tiny clothes pins. I got a bag of like 50 for 1.99 at Walmart.
- Hung up photos, overlapping and alternating the sizes.
This is so cool! I did the same thing in my office. You rock Betsy. :)
