DIY hanging photo frame


Find 2 pieces of off cut wood.

                      Sand down the blocks paying special attention to the chipped sides and corners.




 Measure and mark off where to put the eyelets.

Screw in the eyelets. It may be useful to use a small drill-bit to drill small pilot holes to help you screw them in.

On the board chosen to be the bottom piece, the one with only two eyelets, measure and screw in mirror corners. Again, it might be helpful to first drill small pilot holes.
 
 Choose, size and print out a quote or saying of your choice

 Tape one side of the paper to the back of the top board (the one without the mirror corners). Slide in a piece of carbon paper and tape the other side down. Trace over the quote with a pen or a pencil.

 Remove the paper and piece of carbon paper.

 Go over the quote with a paint marker and wait for it to dry.

Spray a layer or two of clear lacquer over the quoted board and wait for it to dry.

Attach key ring rings to the eyelets to attach the two boards.

Attach a piece of wire or rope to the eyelets on the top so that you can hang your photo frame.

Insert a photo into the mirror corners and hang up your quick, easy and personalized hanging photo frame.
