Picture Feature for $7

Picture Feature for Any Room

(In our Bedroom)

 I didn't get a good centered picture, but it is the same on either side.

 The things you will need for this project:

(All items purchased from Home Depot)

-Pallet (free)

-Rope/twine ($3.00)

-Small hanging hooks ($2.50)

-Decorative Hooks 2pack ($1.50)

-Strong double sided tape/rubber bands/glue/tacks

-Scissors and a screw driver

BONUS: You will have extra left over of everything (except decorative hooks) depending of the size of the feature.

The picture feature was made in a about an hour.

 First, select the placement of the feature and size.

Attach your decorative hooks per the directions. This is where you will use your screw driver. Ensure that your hooks are even and level.

 Cut your pallet wood in 8 inch sections. This comfortably hold a 4x6 photo.

Screw in two small hooks about an 1 1/2 inch from the top of the wood. The hooks need to face downward to hang from the rope properly. Ensure they are even and level. Your placement of the hooks will depend on the direction of your photo. I chose to do 4 of each for a balanced look. 

Now attach your photos to the wood using strong double sided tape, glue, tacks or rubber bands. For the rubber bands you will need two, top and bottom of the photo. Wrap the band around the wood and the photo. 

Now cut the rope to fit the width of the decorative hooks, leave some slack at the ends. The amount is up to you depending on your aesthetics. Knot the rope tight, the weight of the wood will pull at the rope.

Lastly, hang your photo boards from the rope. They can slide around and be arranged to your liking. You can also change out the photos seasonally or periodically.

***Something extra: the mirror was purchased from the thrift store ($1.50) and I painted the frame to fit the color scheme.***
