Or more accurately I've been completely obsessed lately with all of the picture frame crafts floating around pinterest. Who knew there were so many uses for a plain ol' picture frame?
And so I've decided to draw inspiration from the craftiness of pinterest and do some picture frame projects for my room in my apartment at school!

| Getting in the right frame of mind to do some crafting |
I wanted to get frames in a variety of shapes and sizes so I can arrange them in cool ways on the wall. And I've decided that Picture Frame Project #1 is.....a wire/clothespin picture holder(a very creative name, I know)
For this project I chose a medium sized picture frame and spray painted it.(Side note: I'm so old now that I can legally go to the store and buy spray paint on my own, which means I'm really old.)
The next step was to attach the wire. I just used jewelry wire, which is pretty easy to bend but still holds its shape.The picture frame I used is plastic and had projections where screws were suppose to go. I was able to use these to wrap the wire around and tie it off on each end of the picture frame. I put a drop of hot glue on each knot to hold it down. If you frame is flat on the back you can try attaching the wire with just hot glue.
Add as many wires as you want, and wah-lah! You have a wonderful place to hang pictures.
Super easy and simple, right?? And super cute. Be on the look out for more picture frame projects to come!
