Old frame renewed

We've all seen those obnoxious gold frames that were so popular in the 70's at about all the thrift shops. Here is one fantastic project you can do to recycle/renew one of those frames into somthing useful...and for almost no money.
  1. Remove the glass, mirror or picture and frame backing.
  2. Clean frame and prep for paint
  3. Paint it a fun color to match your office or entry way
  4. Measure the frame opening and figure out how many rows of photos can be hung accross the opening.
  5. Mark off where you would like the wire to hang and insert small eye bolts.
  6. Run the wire through and arroung the eye bolts so that you can use the bolt to tighten the wire later if necessary.
  7. Hang frame on wall and attach photos using small designer clothes pins.

Thank you goodwillionaire for the idea and pic!
