    on being handy

    18 April 2012

    I have to laugh when I get an email or a comment saying, “you are so lucky to be married to such a handy guy” or “We’re just not handy around the house~we could never do these kinds of things.”
    When we were married, we knew nothing about diy or home repair. NOTHING.first apt 1our first apartment: what in the heck is wrong with this shower head?

    the $10.56 bedroom gallery wall

    11 April 2012

    I wanted to display some favorite pictures in our master bedroom, but did not want to spend $20 a pop on gallery frames with mats. I checked on buying mats separately, or even cutting my own from mat board, but I wanted to keep it very simple and very inexpensive. here’s what I did:

    1. buy 11X14 frames from the Dollar Tree. I just ordered a pack of 10 online and then picked them up in the store.


    2. find the least dented part of a piece of white posterboard and trace around the glass, then cut it out. I took a mat with a 4X6 cutout from another picture I had and traced the 4X6 opening in the center.

    3. cut the shorter 2 edges with my handy cutter, march 2012 020 1




    4. then use a metal ruler and an exacto knife for the longer edges. Use cardboard underneath so you don’t slash anything up!march 2012 021 1




    5. Insert your favorite pictures behind the posterboard.april 2012 044 1
























    6. Love that you spent around $10 framing some of your favorite memories. :)

    (still trying to figure what to do with that alarm clock)


    april 2012 040 1
























    breakdown:


    poster board from Kroger~I used 4 because mine were pretty dented up. $2.76


    4X6 pictures (5, then I framed a favorite note from him) $1.45


    6 frames from Dollar Tree: $6.30


    Total: $10.56


    yesssssssssssssssss. :) You could completely stay under $10 if you found a couple of clean, undented posterboard for 2/$1 at the dollar store. Mostly, the savings was in the frames.Thank you Dollar Tree!signature
