Chicken Wire Photo Frame

When I saw U-Create's may "Create with me"  challenge I knew I needed to join in. I had a spot that needed something! I headed over to Home Depot to check out some wood. I knew I wouldn't be able to find a frame large enough for the space I wanted to fill. Here's what I used:

• 3 picket fence posts ($.68 a piece at my local Home Depot)


• 4 flat "L" brackets


• Spray Paint


• Chicken Wire (something to cut it with too!)


• Staple gun

At Home Depot I had them cot the pointy tip off each post and then cut one post in 1/2. This gave me all 4 sides for the frame.

After lightly sanding I screwed the brackets into each of the four corners

Then spray paint! I used a light coat of brown to "darken" the wood then a stone color to give a white wash effect.

I also sprayed the chicken wire brown

Then I stapled the chicken wire into the back


Hung it on the wall

Grabbed some clothes pins and we're good to go!

I might jazz up the clothes pins later, but for about an hour of effort I'm happy with the result!
