Some of my crafty Pinterest friends wanted to make Wooden Photo Frames for teacher gifts for Christmas. We have 1 male teacher so I wasn't sure about the idea but I decided to give it a go :) Basically they were taking a block of wood painting/distressing it and then putting a photo on it with pushpins/nails and a burlap bow, I was not feeling male teacher with that idea ;) Not having a photo of an idea, just a description from my friend I decided to put my own spin on it and LOVE the results!
I started with a 'naked' piece of 8x10 in wood and mini 2 in clothespin
Then I stained both the wood & clothespin with 2 coats of pecan stain, sorry this photo gives it a weird look but my 'good' camera was charging for a photo shoot later today :) I have been wanting to stain 'something' for awhile, I was quite surprised by how easy it was!
Naked wood with the stained wood, coloring is a bit off in this one
I then remembered that I've seen some really cute stuff online with twine...so I decided to add some to mine. I nailed it onto the side with a tiny nail that Mr. B had in a 'nail bucket' in the garage :) Then I printed a photo I made, and clipped it to the diagonal twine and Viola! Project done! I love that the teachers will be able to easily change out the photo as desired. I had thought about gluing the clothespin but this provides much more flexibility
Loving it! Not sure what I'll do yet for the 2 female teachers but I still have a bit of time to work on it ;)
