You have seen them haven’t you? Cute little picture frames with wires or twine going across clothes-pinned pictures?  I set out to make my own. I decided to make the wire one which I chose for durability.

I had several frames I picked up cheaply at a garage sale  They were picture frames. You know the gold kind that  nobody wants in their houses anymore?!

Next I painted them

I added a wood stain to one of them.

I dry brushed some of the original paint back on to better highlight the detail.

This is the end result:

I measured and marked the inside of the frame once I decided how to evenly place the wire. (here is where hubby helped me with drilling and screwing)

Next, I drilled a small hole along the side and added small screws. Make sure the screws are small enough to not show.

The next step was wrapping the wire around the one screw and then the opposite screw. To assure that the wire was tight, both screws were then tightly screwed in
