Glitter & Twine Photo Display

I just moved into a new apartment, and you know what that means.... DIY projects!
This is a simple (It took me like 30 minutes) and cute way to display your favorite photos, and it's way cheaper than buying frames for all of them!



What you need:
- Clothes pins
- Glitter
- ModPodge (or Elmers glue) & paint brush
- Twine (or some other rustic-looking string)
- Two nails & hammer
- Photos and/or old postcards







What you do:
1. Lay your clothes pins out flat, and paint the tops with Mod Podge.
2. Sprinkle glitter on the tops.
3. While those dry, put your nails in the wall. Mine were about 2.5 feet apart.
4. Cut two pieces of twine: one a few inches longer than the distance between the nails, one a few inches longer than the first.
5. Tie the ends of the twine to the nails, with the shorter one on top.
6. Once your clothes pins are dry, use them to clip your photos to the twine. I also put up a few vintage postcards I found at an antique shop for 25 cents apiece (score!)




Enjoy! :)
