Framing Life:)

Roomie and I are currently addicted to Pinterest and as a result.. I use it as inspiration:) Roomie thought this little tutorial was cute, and I have a lot of frames at my store so I am giving it a try! Here is a link to the original tutorial that I found for reference>> Talia Christine

First, I found a frame that I could at least do two layers of string to hang photos..

I made sure that I could fit at least 4x6's and drilled holes all the way through.. so that I could pull the string through to hide the knot. On the other tutorial, they just used a nail to tie the string around in the front.. but Desty thought to pull it through a hole.
I drilled holes to put the string through, but ended up
not liking it so much, so a nailed some tacks
on the front to tie the string to

I then drilled leetle holes to screw in the eye hooks that I had on hand, next time I think I would either use smaller ones or the kind of hanging thing for the middle.

I used some ole string to hang from..
Measure to make sure you have a straight line!
The eye hook I used to attach string to hang on wall
Almost finished. This was a VERY quick craft project
Ta-Da! Stay tuned for what it looks like in my home!
Its funny how you have a general idea as to how you want things to turn out, or how you go about creating it in the first place. Each step I took, I changed- instead of hiding the string in the back, I used the tacks that I pulled out of this frame to tie the string to in the front.. and instead of crochet yarn, I used this straw looking craft stuff (mostly because it doesn't stretch) and this other brown stuff I found in my crafting goodies. I am going to use the clothes pins we have at our house because they are discolored due to weather, and it will look really cute with black and white photos:)
