Been there. Pinned it. Did that. | Old Window Picture Frame





Hello everyone! 

Welcome to Been there. Pinned it. Did that. hosted by yours truly. 

I found a old window at a downtown antique shop a couple of months ago for $20.00. What a steal!! I have been looking high and low for an old window everywhere. The ones I have seen they wanted at least $40.00. So even though I didn't have the wall space I had to buy it and I would figure where to put it later. 

 

Step one: I did a clear shellac because my window had weathered already.

Step two: Find a picture you like to print. A friend of mine had once told me she got all of her prints from Staples because they were way cheaper than anywhere else for large prints. Since we don't have a Staple here in town I would've paid $9.99 just in shipping. Before I ordered it online I drove down to our Office Depot where it cost me the same price but I had my picture within one hour. Total cost of the printed picture was $21.00 doll hairs.

Step three: I had seen a couple of pins where they cut the photo out to fit in each and every single panel of the window. Why make things more complicated than they really are. I just taped my picture onto the back of the window.


Step four: Since I didn't have anything to hang the picture by I bought picture hangers from Hobby Lobby. 
($1.99 plus 40% of coupon) 



Step five: Level it out and hang it on your wall. Of course I had to move stuff around to find a spot where I wanted it. 

And there we have it!
