Looky, I used my brains!!!
So I have 5 8x10 frames for over the bed for some of my hottie pics that should be in the mail soon, HOPEFULLY!!! And I want to hang them over my bed, but UGH!!! You know I measure 60 times and rehammer nails about 10 times. BUT WAIT!!! I have leftover Christmas wrapping paper that is gridded... Hmmm, wonder if this would work.
Here are the frames, I LOVE these "frameless" frames.
The crap wrapping paper I almost threw out.
Can you see the grids?
Aligned some to my bed for proper length.
Cut out a pretty piece.
Folded in half to find center.
Hung it up (yes, it took about 4 tries, and I think it looks crooked here because the photo is crooked. Or my bed is crooked).
There's center!!!
WAIT!!! Let's throw it up a notch... Let's have the pics make a chevron!!!
YES!!! I hung the center, then the outer edges 4 squares below the center, found the center between the middle and the outers, and hung those 2 squares down.
NOW TEAR OFF THE PAPER!!! Okay, I COULD have removed the frames... BUT I DIDN'T!!!
BWA HA HA HA HA!!!
I don't think I straightened the frames after removing the paper, BUT I FEEL SO COOL RIGHT NOW in my crafty nerd world.

Oh my gosh, genius! I have 4 frames (of my 4 kids) that need to be hung in my living room and it's been sitting there for MONTHS! I'm thinking by the time I actually get to hanging them, I'll have next year's pictures to replace the ones inside the frames already!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I'll use your idea of the grid wrapping paper...
