cheap and really groovy looking way to decorate

hey, i came up with this idea a while ago when i saw something like it on a website... if you have a lot of photos but don't have that many frames, frames can get expensive...

what i did was buy some twine (you can use laundry line rope, or hemp, or whatever you want, so long as it will be strong enough to hang) and pinned it to the wall, with pins every 4-5 feet so that it would dip inbetween. then i took an entire bag of clothespins and spray painted them, and when they were dry put them on the twine, and hung photos from them!

the way i had it it looked like prayer flags, people liked to look at them when they came over... it's so cheap to do, and it looks really arty my only suggestion is that you hang it up higher than pets can reach, when we got cats they immediately took to playing with the photos and pulled most of them down.

 

cool idea, I might have to give this one a try... it'd be fun in my son's room... hang up pics that span his life/ adventures

 

Teehee...Great minds think alike! I did that at my old house, but I didnt think to spray paint the clothespins. Everyone enjoyed looking at them too!

 

I took the white and gold/black wrapping paper from my new shoes box, wove it in patterns between my posters on my wall and laced blue lace around it and it looks pretty good

 

wow, never thought of that! thanks so much, i'm definitely going to do this. and best part, its cheap! :]

 

thats a pretty cool idea. I made a large tiedye sheet and hung it across my ceiling, thats a cheap way as well also

 

My favorite cheap way of redecorating is painting records.
