Easy Vintage Tool Photo Display
Today I found a great project just cleaning out the garage.
My find of the day was an old hammer head with no handle.
Come on, you know you would have just chucked it...
But not me... I used it.
I'm adding affiliate links so you can find products you may need to create these projects. Homeroad will receive a few cents from your purchase at no additional cost to you.
I added small magnets to the back of some porcelain number tags with E6000 glue.
And that's all.
Instant photo display.
Not sure who this guy is... supposedly a long lost relative of mine. I use his picture a lot in my displays, it's a cool pic.
*update... Thanks to my mother... This is my great, great Grandfather.
The hammer head can be displayed up or down.
Those foxy ladies are my grandmother and her sisters. I love this photo too!
And this handsome guy is my grandfather.
Next time before you throw it out, think about how perfect it might be given a new life.
What started out as a garage clean out turned out to be a great chance to give an old piece a new life and take a walk down memory lane.
Really neat idea! I would have saved too, but the mr found it, he'd throw it away...somethings ju just gotta hide...love it, love it !!
ReplyDeleteHahaha here too Kathy, they just don't see the beauty! :)
DeleteSo neat you know it's your Gr Gr grandfather. Neat to use this as display too!!
ReplyDeleteYes Gwen, my mother has done a great job of keeping up with the family history and photos!
DeleteGreat idea Susan, and I love how you dressed up plain magnets!
ReplyDeleteYou could use any kind of magnets to make this have the look you love. I love the enamelware looking ones myself :)
