Years ago, when I graduated high school I was given a growth chart that I could screw to the wall and measure my child's height. It had little frames on it, in which I could slide in the photo for whatever grade level the child was in. I toted that chart around until I finally had my son. Over the years, I've had comments on how cute it was, so in search of a gift for my friends, I looked for one like it. I couldn't fine one! Yeah, I found growth charts that were rulers but no place to place a photo, even found some that were flimsy clear plastic, with pouches for photos and could be rolled up, but nothing durable like the one I had.
With my friend's birthday right around the corner, I knew I had work to do! I wanted my end result to have a ruler AND photo frames!
This here is my end result:
It is made with a 6' x 11" x ⅝" pine board, pearl grey wood stain, hand painted purple outdoor acrylic paint, ten 3" x 2" metal photo frames and coated with a Krylon acrylic crystal clear gloss spray.

how were the picture frames attached to the board?
ReplyDeleteI was able to take the glass out of the frame, drill little holes in the lip on the back that holds the photo and cardboard. Then I hammered the frames to the board with little nails through those holes. I couldn't hammer directly down, and I don't remember what I put on top of the nail to hammer...
