Hello sun-shiney faces! How are ya? Today I will be sharing instructions for a picture holder-wall-framer-clothespin-thingy-ma-jig. This is a FAST and easy project.. actually let’s say it SHOULD be.. but my life has been crazy busy lately. Lots of skates to tie, cheekers to wipe, dipes to change.. you get my drift. Let’s get down to ‘business’ now shall we?
Start with a vintage frame..
the bigger the better!
Next add paint and a paint brush.
Antique White Ace Royal is what clothed my grunge-ola.
Throw in hammer and nails, or screw gun and screws.
A tape measure and pencil is handy at this point too.
On your mark.. get set.. flex!
Work it ladies (and men).
Make sure your marks are directly across
from each other as this is how you’ll attach
your wire to ther frame.
A pain in the butt! But I used tweazers to take the clothes pins apart.
Spray painted them,
then put them back together.
(you could skip this part if you’d rather leave the pins ‘au natraule.)
Next up, Mod Podge and Vintage Wall Paper!
Wrap the wire tightly around the screw, string the clothespins on,
and attach the wire to the other side.
Tah-Da!
I have totally been in the ‘getting rid of junk’ mode.
I’m SO happy this frame didn’t fall prey 
Speaking of organizing… I just sent out
a little e-letter on the matter.
Thanks to my facebook pals for inspiring and motivating me!
Did you get my letter? What’d you think?
Tell me the honest to gutsness truth, I promise I can handle it!

Hi, just found your blog, like 10 min. ago, through a link from abeachcottage. This is such a cute way to hang little tidbits! Would love to have you visit me if you get the chance, me being a nubie, and all.
Thanks all

Hi Heather! I'm here via Sarah's Beach Cottage, and I love your style, girlie! Your 'photo-frame' is so adorable! I'm definitely going to dig out my empty frames and create some of these cuties! I'm your newest follower!

Too cute way or organising bits & bobs, am thinking of doing one myself but was not sure which way to go with it.
Lovely! I found you through decor 8 and would love to make one of these. We just moved and I am a farmhouse decor lover. Love your inspiration! xx, cbm
I can’t believe I found this! I have been drooling over this project on the magazine cover of Home since it came out. It is just so gorgeous! Great project and beautiful site.
Warmly,
Sharon
So, I know this post is from a few months ago but I’m commenting anyway…So cute! I’ve done something similar to several frames and they sell quickly. It’s wonderful to turn something old and discarded into a new, functional treasure!
