Vintage Photo Display

"If you love to upcycle items then you will love this vintage photo display. I picked up the vintage cheese grater at the thrift store and gave it a couple coats of chalk paint. Using some sari silk yarn that I had on hand for the wrap and bow, because I really like the variation of the colors. To make the photo display stand freely I used a metal hinge giving it two coats of chalk paint as well. The grater was a little top heavy so I had to make a minor adjustment to the hinge so that it wouldn't topple over. To hold the photos I made two magnets. One was made using a wood button. and the other was a magnetic bulldog clip. And that's it for this fun vintage photo display!"
