Creating a Wall Photo Gallery


 
It all started when I picked up a super cool vintage jump rope (complete with wooden handles and the cardboard packaging!) at my fav thrift store. I really wanted to figure out a way to display it. A wall in my boy's "playroom" was begging for something other than the tan paint I had painted it a while back. My style is vintage, homey and sort of country...so of course I couldn't find the right pictures to hang on the wall. So, I decided to create my own using some frames I had bought a long time ago at Walmart...I added October Afternoon paper, a vintage children's record, flash cards and some other little bits and pieces. I also hung one Crayola crayon box and a chalk box. I used 3M Velcro strips to hang everything so I could remove the sticky stuff later. The hardest part was trying to take pictures of my finished project...glass frames are a bit tricky!
