What? You can't really tell what it is? Well that's because I took a really shitty picture this morning while running out the door to work and this is what you get!
What is it you ask? Well good question. I always feel an explanation should start at the beginning...it's a postcard frame. Then End.
How did I make it? An eight foot long piece of 1x2 (primed) cut into two 18" pieces and two 30" pieces. Attached the pieces to make a frame, then ordered some lovely baker's twine from TwineAndTape on www.Etsy.com and stapled that bad boy all over the back. I didn't really make any sort of pattern, just stapled where I thought it would work well.
I also bought a couple packages of natural wood mini clothespins like these I found on Newegg. I only needed one package, but I'm sure I can find something to use the other 25 on. Anyway, I used Rit Dye in Navy to color the pins a nice dark blue and wallah, you have a nice, inexpensive card frame for all of those holiday cards.
I plan on mounting it to the wall tonight using Velcro Command Strips; perhaps I'll post an update with a better view.
*Side note*
Is it tacky if I want to put our own Christmas card up? I just love it so much :)
