My daughter wanted a photo display area at her wedding reception. After checking out Pinterest, we thought this wooden frame was super cute (check out our inspiration here).
My guy whipped it up out of 2 x 4’s and then drilled four holes in each side. I took care of staining it and threading the jute through the holes. I just used a knot at each end to keep the jute from slipping back through the holes.The most time consuming part of this project was choosing the pictures! 
But we got lucky . . . we had pictures of them the same ages doing the same sorts of things – like Baptism at age 8, sports pictures at age 10 and in high school, each devouring cake on their first birthdays, and my favourite, the super happy two-year-old photo!
We attached the photos to the string with mid size clothespins. We painted the top side of the clothespin in a wedding colour, and added a little punched out tag that briefly described the pictures. (Age 2) for example. We chose to put all the pictures in chronological order.

The lamp was the perfect addition to make the photos visible. We also had Christmas lights around the branches in the old crate. 
It worked out perfectly!!!And now I have a cute display stand to hold, oh . . . my three-year olds artwork . . . or Christmas cards . . . or messages to family members . . .
