Make a Memo Wall

Claire from Poopscape does it again with this super-simple yet classy and modern memo wall project. As she says: “This is a really good project for people like me who like to pin a lot of crap on the wall- you only make 8 small holes in the wall instead of 200.”

This project is great for displaying family photos, memos to self (or others), or inspirations. I can also imagine a really cool monthly calendar that uses this idea. If you wanted to make it a little less modern, you could substitute materials for the wire and clips. How about pretty yarn or lace for the wire, or clothespins for the clips? If you want to go by the project instructions, you can find a picture-hanging kit at the dollar store, that includes picture wire and eyelet screws.

Project Estimate:

Picture hanging kit, $1
Clips, $1

Total cost: $2

This is a great idea but just beware that those clips will leave imprints on your pictures.

I am definitely making one of those. Anyone have an idea on what clips to use?

@theresa Claire said she used clips from Ikea, but any clips would do.

The 80s Called…
And they want their prom dress flower back. I recently saw this great little tutorial on making ribbon flowers at Make It Do. How beautiful is that? It is perfect for spring and with all the grey, damp, snowy weather we’ve had in West Virginia, I could use something to brighten my days. I bought some ribbon. [...] […]
Tee Dress Fail
Half of the fail in this tee dress is just my body shape/size… I’ve been wanting for eons to make this tee dress from this video tutorial at threadbanger. EONS. So I finally did it tonight, after having some unexpected time on my hands due to the snowstorm. Well, it is certainly easy enough to do. [...] […]
Knot a Flower
Hmmmm, I am beginning to see a pattern with my crafting fails. Whenever I try to make some sort of flowery doo-dad for an jewelry project, I crash and burn. Here’s my latest flaming inferno of failure. I had an urge to go all Martha and make a flower zipper brooch like I have been seeing [...] […]
