Living the cube life is NOT easy- at least not for me. Especially back when we used to have all white walls- so dull. Then the office was "redecorated" (read: splash some paint on the occasional accent wall, leave the ugly grey cubes and grey carpet that DO NOT match the new colors on the wall - this is what happens when you let engineers use their artistic abilities). Now I sit in a grey cube and look at a tan (cough, cough baby poop brown) wall. Sooo after a bajillion hours of staring at this stellar color combo, I decided it was time to make something to hang on the wall. Something I enjoy looking at. My setbacks were that I wanted it to be easy to hang and I wanted it to be FREE. Voila, my photo hanger, made from hemp, ribbon and cardboard. The hearts are actually made out of starbucks sleeves, I cut them out and pressed the corrugated sides onto a couple stamp pads to give it a burst of color.
I used some of the clothespins from my wedding that I had used to hang the escort cards to hang photos up- where did most of those go, anyway? These 5 are all I have left… guess I’ll just have to make more!
Even though this photo hanger super easy to make, if you want to be lazy and order one of these, or a variation, look for them on my etsy store! I can include the cute clothespins, too. A nice way to jazz up any cube!
P.S. I’ll have more goodies to post later this week!!

ReplyDeleteMattie, I cleaned it up for the picture- I figured dirty dishes on my desk may take away from the photo holder! :P So happy you enjoy that clothes pin! Hope all is well, miss you!
