So when I’m shopping for new pieces or pinning new projects, I try to make things that are more than just decorations. I also want whatever I make to be practical…to have some kind of use. As of late, I’ve realized that I have some cute necklaces and dangly earrings but I never wear them because I don’t see them. They’re tucked away in a drawer or in my jewelry stand. On Pinterest, I’ve seen this neat idea of hanging jewelry on chicken wire that’s inside a cute picture frame. So, I found this ornate golden frame from a local vintage shop (The White Brick House…it’s close to paradise!) for $16 and I also bought some cool hooks. All of this is to add some character to our bedroom...going for a gold, greenish blue, and brown theme. I really don't know what I'm doing, but hey! it's fun!
The steps for this were pretty simple…
1. Cut Wire. I bought some basic chicken wire from Home Depot. I then measured out the back of the frame at the widest parts (you can always cut away excess at the end) and cut the right length of the chicken wire with wire cutters.
2. Spray Paint. I spray-painted the chicken wire on both sides outside on some old cardboard, allowing it to dry before painting the other side. I used Rustoleum gold spray paint. Yes, I did get some spray paint on the grass and yes, that patch looks fabulous!
3. Staple Gun. Once the paint is dry, you just use your staple gun (or as my mother refers to it, just your gun) to staple the chicken wire to the back of the frame.
4. Mini Clothes Pins. Go to your local Michael’s and find these cute mini clothes pins to pin on your necklaces (or just clasp around if all your necklaces have clasps).
I was planning on painting the clothes pins with AS paint, but I didn't have to! Michael's had these cute gold pins in the baby shower aisle.
Don’t know what to do with all the extra chicken wire? Well if you have birds trying to make a nest in your chimney like we do, then you can also use chicken wire to make a makeshift cap for chimney! How vintage?! Jk, we’re just cheap. You can also travel back in time to your high school float-making days and make your own float! Get that tissue paper and glue ready!
