Rustic Picture Collage!!

Soooo I started with this super simple rustic frame! I found it for half off at Hobby Lobby!! Super great deal...

 

Some twine... from bed bath and beyond's kitchen section... 

  

And did I mention it was $.97!!!

Throw in my new Staple Gun and some cute pics... maybe a clothes pin or two!

 

Super Easy... here is what I did. 

 

  

I flipped the frame over and stapled the twine to the back of the frame... I just zig-zagged back and forth! Turned it over and this is what I had...

Looked pretty good... 

 

I started to hang pictures. I used clothes pins to keep the pictures in place. I thought it looked good... but boyfriend thought it could use more twine to fill in some of the empty space.

 

Sooo we flipped it back over and stapled some more twine... this time we did a few zig zags going different directions then our first path.

 

With the extra twine I really didn't need the clothes pins to hold up the pictures. You can leave them on if you like them... I decided to leave them off and add more pics. 

We hung our frame in our family room above our TV. This project took 10 mins, was super east and is sooo cute!

I love it!

A crafty idea...

I found this beautiful rustic frame... and I got an idea!!

 The same weekend I got my very first staple gun!! 

This... gave me an even better idea!

 

I will let you in on this awesome idea of mine... 

tomorrow!!! 

It's a good one!! 

PS... I love my staple gun!

A Perfect Quote!

“I must learn to love the fool in me–the one who feels too much, talks too much, takes too many chances, wins sometimes and loses often, lacks self-control, loves and hates, hurts and gets hurt, promises and breaks promises, laughs and cries. It alone protects me against that utterly self-controlled, masterful tyrant whom I also harbor and who would rob me of human aliveness, humility, and dignity but for my fool.”
