While feeding my Pinterest addiction, I came across a website that I love called One Lucky Day.
They recently showed how to make a beautiful necklace using wooden discs that they dyed and stamped. Go HERE to see what they did. I liked the idea of stamping the discs and it got my wheels turning. Rather than using the discs for jewelry, I went in another direction...
I used the discs as embellishments for a photo display.
One Lucky Day used dye to color their discs but I just used paint and applied it with a damp paper towel. I used 3 colors...blue, teal, & yellow.
I stamped each of the discs...
Using a Burnt Umber acrylic paint, I antiqued the discs using a damp paper towel...
Using the same Burnt Umber paint, I darkened small clothespins to match the color of an old yardstick...
I glued the discs onto the clothespins and once that was dry I glued the clothespins onto the yardstick...
Since the yardstick was not thick enough to accommodate screws, I glued the hooks onto the back. This is the first time that I used Zap-A-Gap glue, but my son who is an architecture student and has to build a lot of things, assured me that it will hold anything! He warned me not to get it on my fingers or I would be stuck forever!!!
Just add pictures and this makes a unique way to display your photos...
This would also work in an office as a way to display notes or business cards!
I think it measures up quite nicely!
