Rusty Picture Hinge

9:54:00 PM

I'm taking a clue from my friend Laurel's

she's at Chipping With Charm...

and she has fabulous ideas!

I put my own spin on this great idea...

I started with the large hinge, a curtain ring and an old

chippy piece of wood.

(It was the end of a pergola)

Materials:

Procedure:

I drilled a hole in the wood so I could bolt the hinge to it
and the hinge would stand up.

I attached the curtain ring by first separating

the hook from the ring...

I attached the hook to the top hole of the hinge.

This is where you hang the picture.

And here you go, instant trash to treasure

hinge picture frame.

Thank you Laurel for the great inspiration!

I love to repurpose cast-offs into one of a kind treasures. I like to think outside of the box and I hope to bring a new creative perspective to others.
