Picture Frame Transformation
A friend bought this for me one year for my birthday (lacy!!) and I never put any pictures in it, 3 moves later and 2 hooks broke. It sat in the corner for awhile until I got an idea!
I opened it up and took off the letter 'F' to see if i could find letter about the same to spell "family" (side note: I have a ton of frames with friends but none really with family) I also needed to think of a way to replace the hooks, and I couldn't find hooks the same size, same holes, etc. So I had to rethink this idea....
So I found this instead of single letters (only because I was tired of going to Michaels and Acmoore to find letters, and they never had all the letters I needed, of course!) so I painted it black.
After I had painted it, I went to mount it and realized the hole didn't fit the word right, so I took off the bottom of the mat inorder to fit it in there (and wanted to get this over with) ....
So to the frame and the hook dilemma, I got a brillant idea to use the contact paper from the bins I covered to cover this small space. So I covered that area and had to use tape on the back to make sure it stuck (contact paper was from the dollar store) and bam! problem solved.....
Assembled product (p.s. those are not my family members but the pictures that came inserted! haha)
Hard to tell, but instead of searching for new hooks, because the original holes were covered up i was able to keep 2 of the hooks, and put them back on and use the two middle ones. Hard to see, haven't made up my mind to spray paint or paint them black to make them stand out....... DONE project and ready for pictures!!! :]
Simple frame [Michaels], painted, hooks twisted in, fish stocking looking wire. Attach on the back with a staple gun, as long as the frame is wood and pretty thick, screw in hooks and add a hanger on the back. Used to hang earrings and necklaces. Can be customized to any preference.
Gift for a family member who is in the radio business. Took their favorite artist from back in the day, unraveled the inside and used clear sticky dots to have the inside part stick to the board. I painted and primed the board before I mapped out the word.
Made for family members who like woodchuck and Coors Light. Bottle lables modged podged onto small wooden letters. Standing up for decoration on top of a bar.
