Hello Friends! Yesterday I finished this rustic photo display/message board. It features a collage of heavyweight pattern paper, wood clothespins, heavy twine to hang pictures, reminders, or messages from, metal flower, metal brad, burlap trim, fabric trim and even a galvanized envelope to stick messages in. I found the wood frame at Hobby Lobby. It was on clearance. I'm always looking for items to repurpose or alter. This was the perfect canvas. I covered the inside of the frame with two coats of gesso. I then applied different sizes of pattern paper pieces to create a collage. I used Mod Podge to create the collage. I found the galvanized envelope at Michael's. At first, I was not sure what I was going to use the metal envelope for, but then I decided it would look perfect on this board. In fact, I thought I was going to put several of these on the board, but Michael's no longer had them in stock. Plan B: add clotheslines. I think the clotheslines and metal envelope compliment each other nicely. Please take a look and let me know what you think. As always thanks for visiting...Dawn
This is a great altered project, Dawn. Thanks for the inspiration!
