I realized I could repurpose them into something else!

they are all over pinterest.... (i still am not signed up for pinterest because i don't have time for one more thing but browsing is fun!) so we made one. i took a box of 64 crayons and took out the blacks and browns. i used another small box and doubled up on the good colors i liked and hot glued them to the top of our canvas. then we turned our blow dryer to hot on high.
you knew i was going to make one.

I've always loved the idea of hanging jewelry on rustic twigs and branches. But I didn't realize how simple it is to build your own and still make it look sleek and expensive. Isn't it lovely?

The idea is very simple. Fasten twines on the empty frame and hang photos using clothes pins on them. You can use a frame you bought or a frame you made by yourself.
