Chicken Wire And Old Frames in to a pin board How to add chicken wire to old fram

Chicken  Wire and Old Frames..

I have made a wonderful addition to my craft room that I love.  This is not my original idea I found it on Pinterest.

I was lucky and found these handmade large frames at a yard sale for a steal.  They were made of heavy wood and had foam covered inserts.  I originally wanted to remove the foam and fabric and make chalk boards but the foam was sprayed glued to the wood insert making salvaging the wood impossible so plan B.  Chicken wire message or idea boards.

We had some chicken wire laying around and some cool paint. 

    

Some Distressing after a few coats of paint and the frame was ready.  Here are a few pointers: 1.  Make sure you have wire cutters or snips that will cut your chicken wire easily or else you wear yourself out trying to cut the wire.  2.  Make sure that the length of your staples does not exceed your frame thickness.  You will spend more time pulling staples and covering holes.  3.  Make sure you use a thick wood frame .  This allows you more room to not make the above mistakes. 4.  Most important wear safety gear , glasses and gloves for this project.

I added a clothes Pin bag and it is a great place to pin photos, articles or even small supplies for your next project.

I hope you have a good day!
