Pretty cute huh? Anyway, I always like having pictures at events like this and I love the versatility of this particular picture frame. To make it I simply picked up a couple pieces of 1x2's at Lowe's. I cut 4 two foot pieces, stained them, and connected them with our Kreg Jig. Now if you don't know about a Kreg Jig this is the part of this blog post you are going to get a little jealous about. A Kreg Jig is an amazing little tool which makes pocket joints for binding wood. It is both amazing and simple at the same time. I LOVE IT! I laid out the four 2ft pieces of wood just how I wanted the frame built. Then I simply took the top and bottom pieces and made a kreg hole on the backside of each end. The next step was to use the self tapping kreg screws and put the frame together. Here is a picture of the Kreg joints.
Once the frame was built I laid the pictures out for spacing, and then I had to get ready for the party so the hubby took over. Yeah at this point in the project we were expecting friends to show up in about 30 minutes so we were officially in a crunch to get things finished. On the bright side me fixing my hair and finishing this frame was all we had left so it was manageable. Anyway, the hubby marked where to drill the holes for the eye hooks, drilled away, and twisted the hooks in place. Next was to tie the twine onto the hooks and clip the pictures on with clothespins. We also added the picture frame hooks on the back in case Renee and Brad ever want to hang this up on their wall.
