From the first time I found Instagram - I was in love.
Pictures of our lives in happy little retro squares; what's not to love?
well - I found something I don't love ...
In today's world of cellphone cameras, i-pads and computers; more often than not - our pictures live their lives forever on Facebook, a hard-drive, or SD card somewhere.
I wanted to be able to display our favorite little square pictures as well as change them out, periodically. So, I decided to do something about it ...
I pulled out a large 'glass-less' $2 thrift store frame from my storage and printed out
I didn't like the original color of the frame, so I applied an 'espresso' stain and I couldn't be happier.
Ok - I could have been happier, had it not taken 2 days to fully 'cure.' but .. whatever.
I stapled string to the back of the frame and attached the pictures with mini-clothespins I had bought specifically for this craft. I hated the pins because they kept breaking, turning sideways and just pissing me off in general ... but I really loved how the craft turned out .. so it's all good!!
Where it hangs is directly underneath one of our many 'sunlights' in our house and it lights up the frame ever so nicely.
I like it .. I like it, a lot.
