   Display Instagram photos with a refurbished frame Posted by Jo

I love Instagram! Occasionally, I like to print out pictures and display them in my home or office. I went searching and found a super fun site called prinstagr.am that connects to your Instagram account and lets you print mini albums, t-shirts, or fun, business card-sized photos like I did. Once my photos arrived, I wanted to display them in a fun way. Enter… a really ugly frame that Chica’s husband salvaged from a move job.

I took the really ugly frame and base coated it with a mixture of multi-purpose sealer and white acrylic paint. I did two coats to get good coverage.

Next, I applied two coats of Americana Gloss Enamels Indian Turquoise. I’m loving the color and the really ugly frame has gone bye-bye! Now it’s time for the chicken wire. Huh? Stick with me here. Staple a piece of the chicken wire, cut to size, to the back of your frame.

Now use some mini clothespins to attach your Instagram photos to the chicken wire! I love how I will be able to easily change out the pictures when I want.
