Pinspiration

Come to find out our family has an addiction! We all  can't quit pinning! That's right. Pintrest has sucked my family in. We simply can't stop :)  (You can find me here.) All of this pinning has sparked my creativity. And I am loving it. This brings us to today's post~ Pinspiration!!! I have seen a few frames like this and love how they look. Of course, my wheels started spinning. I remembered I had this frame from my grandmother, Cooter,  just waiting to be used. Here is the tutorial on what I did.

Repurposed Frame


Gather supplies: Frame, twine, clothes pins and stapler
Measure twine across the frame. Just make sure to leave plenty to loop around in the end.
Once you are satisfied with where the twine is, staple it down. I made a loop so the twine could not pull through if too much weight was placed on it.
Since my clothes pins were brand new, I decided to give them a bit of age. I just used a sponge and some brown ink. It is a bit hard to tell  the difference but in real life it is way noticable!
Lastly, find some favorite photos and pin them up!
I decided to hang this in our bedroom... only because there was a nail already in the wal! :)
I love how it looks although, I think I am going to reprint my pictures in a smaller size.
Not only do I get reminded of the fun times in the photos, but I think of Cooter also. LOVE IT!
