DIY - frame for polaroids

After stumbling upon Meredith's DIY frame + 52 weeks of instax project I thought this would be an excellent idea for one of Jon's birthday gifts. I had a lot of fun making it, with the help of a friend, and very happy with the turnout!



What you will need:

wood frame, wire or some sort of string, frame hanging eyelets, mini or regular size clothespins, ruler or measuring tape, pencil and possibly a hammer.



I originally wanted to buy a frame, sand it a bit and paint it orange, but I came across this lovely, already rustic-esque blue frame that works well with the colors in our living room.



You'll want to measure and mark the distance between eyelets to match on each side so the string or wire will hang straight. This is where a hammer came in handy, lightly hammer the eyelet in where you marked until you can grasp it and twist them tightly in.









Now feed your string between eyelets, tying tight knots!





You can clip the string to not show or leave it long, whatever your preference. If you use wire, twist the wire to make sure it isn't poking out.



Lastly, hang the frame and clip all your photos on with clothespins.

Dirty Polaroids

I'm doing a fun little "picture a day" polaroid project on Instagram (username: mylittleartichoke) for those who want to follow. Leave a comment here with your Instagram username for me to check out, too!



Speaking of polaroids, does anyone have the new and beautiful Black Piano Instax Mini 50S? I'm drooling over it.
