Hi All! I’ve been a very busy girl lately. Lot’s going on! Working in my garden when time permits. Trying to get more of my crafting projects done. Work is picking up (people are getting tired of sitting at home). But the best part of being a busy girl is “I have about 1 ½ months more of my day job then I will be retired. YAY!!! I hadn’t planned on retiring till the end of next year so I have been scrambling to get all my retirement paperwork filled out and turned in. And boy there is a lot to learn and papers to fill out. It’s all turned in and is now on the last step to go through. I’m almost there. Did I say YAY!!! This is why I’m late with posting my rustic photo display. Once retired I will be able to get back on a regular posting routine. But I’m here now so let’s get with it!

Rustic Photo Display

Start off with a board approximately eight inches.

I used some water-based gel stain on my board because I was using a leftover piece of cedar fencing and I didn’t want my photo display reddish in color.

Next stencil memories at the top of your board.

Once dry take the magnet out of the magnetic clip so that it can be attached with a screw to the front of the rustic photo display just under memories.

After I attached the clip I got to thinking the clip wasn’t even needed. A corner of a photo could have been tucked into the jute and held that way. So either way will work, just depends on if you want the clip or not.

Then wrap some jute around the bottom of the photo holder and staple it on the back with a heavy stapler.

The flower and burlap were hot glued on the lower front on top of the jute. (Tutorial for the burlap and fabric flower).

All that’s left to do on this simple rustic photo display is to find a favorite photo and attach it. That’s it! Easy Peasy!
