The trick was trying to find a way to display all of these photos. I knew I wanted a gallery wall, I knew I wanted a random mix of frames and I knew I wanted to be able to quickly change out my photos. After a lot of thought and Pinterest surfing, I had a plan...I was going to wrap wire around random frames and hang the pictures with mini-clothes pins!
I started off with some ugly gold frames I picked up at a local thrift store for a few bucks each.


Once the frames were painted, I wrapped them tight with picture frame wire. On some of the frames, I looped the wire around the edges and on others, I attached the wire to the back of the frame.




I think it turned out great! This was such a simple project and I love being able to swap out my photos on a whim. This is definitely a great alternative to a traditional gallery wall.

I LOVE this! What a creative way to show off your photos. I better watch out, looks like someone else totally deserves the title of an "Artsy Mom"! :)
