I had my Home Depot buddies (who should run when they see me lurking around by now but are always nice and used to Pinterest ladies) cut some 1.5" wood to my measurements (don't forget overlap). My hubby screwed the pieces of wood together at the corner (and had to "countersink" it too...whatever that means he is the brains behind construction and I have to beg him to do all projects).
Once my frame was complete I used some bright yellow spray paint. A few coats.
We hung it on 2 screws on the inside corners...it kinda bugs my hubby since you can see them but not me.
I ordered bakers twine in blue/white and tied it about every 6 inches down the side on both sides so it was pulled nice and tight.
I ordered polaroid size Instagram pictures from origrami and they are so cool. They even have the comment you made about the photo and the map of where it was taken on the back. I got 36 for $20 with free shipping. They are 4"x5" matte cards and come from Australia so it took 2 weeks but we were out of town so it was a nice surprise to see the cute box of pictures when we got home.
I bought some tiny wooden clothespins at Hobby Lobby and stuck on some light blue rhinestone stickers to make them match our wooden sign that covers our fuse box.
It was fun to hang the photos and I plan on actually rotating them more often (hope it happens). I love it and it was super cheap and easy!
36 Instagram polaroids for $20...love the box and love the maps on the back
The finished product...makes throwing away trash in the kitchen more entertaining at least
Displays 24 Polaroids...don't look too closely at the last row I ran out of wooden clothespins for now
Love the Baker's Twine
And if it sparkles it's always better...they're little so I can get away with them in a house of boys
