The second make was not quite as successful as the first :-s
I saw this picture on pinterest and tried to recreate it with an old picture frame that I had lying around.
 |
| Painted frame |
I started off by painting the frame in two coats of Old white Annie Sloan Chalk Paint. This is after painting. I forgot to take a before picture but it was once gold. I then sanded down the nobbly bits to highlight the detail. Once cleaned and dusted, I waxed the frame.
 |
| Stapling the string |
I then got some garden twine and stapled this in rows along the back of the frame.
 |
| Mini pegs |
and then I attached the mini pegs at about a 10cm distance along the twine.
Ta da!!
 |
| The finished article |
It’s rather large! It looks a bit silly on my tiny desk. Eventually I will get Nick to hang it on the wall and hopefully then it won’t look so odd.
