Clothes Pins and Picture Frames

I have had this big frame hanging out in my craft room for about a year now. I have too many ideas that I want to use it for but I finally narrowed it down to one that I love.

First of all, I love Instagram. I love posting pictures, following my friends, and I love the filters you can use to edit your pictures. There are a lot of ways out there to print your pictures but I don't have a large area on my fridge to stick StickyGram magnets and I don't really need any Printstagram stickers. I just wanted my pictures printed. I found an app called PostalPix that will print and ship your Instagram pictures for pretty cheap and they are perfect for this project.

Supplies:
Large frame
String, yarn, or jute
Hot glue
Mini clothes pins
Pictures
Spray paint

Once again, I don't have a Ron of pictures to go along with this post but hopefully it is pretty self explanatory.

The first thing I did was spray paint my frame. I went with and orange-red color but it could change in the future to green or yellow :) I can't seem to make up my mind!

Next I ran down to Joanne's and picked up some mini clothes pins. They were in the back corner in the wood section (it took me a while to find them). I took them home and (roughly) painted them with some toll paint and a sponge brush. This was a great activity to do while Derrick was building a wall in our front yard. It didn't take too much concentration so I was still able to cheer him on while I painted!

Then I went inside and grabbed my yarn, my hot glue gun, and my frame. I decided that three strands would look best on my size frame but it could vary depending on what frame you use. I eyeballed where I wanted the yarn to lay, turned over the frame, and started gluing! As I was gluing I pulled on my yarn to make sure it would be nice and tight.

Once the glue was dry I added the clothes pins and pictures and ta-da!

A simple project that adds a neat element to my entry way! Now go make one-you'll love it :)
