A Framed Clipboard Gallery Wall
January 17, 2014
Do you remember when I framed four old clipboards?
If you don't remember, click HERE to see my inspiration for this project.
Shortly after the framed clipboards, I put together this project with my great grandparents' wedding photo, fabric and Lartz vintage photo corners HERE.
I also re-purposed a vintage purse handle as a tea towel hanger HERE.
Then when I saw this photo in a current Pottery Barn catalog displaying a yardstick with clips (not for sale), I dug out one of my coolest old yardsticks.
First I glued four magnetic clips on the yardstick with E6000 at the 1/8, 3/8, 5/8 and 7/8 yard marks. I also opted to hang my yardstick vertically instead of horizontally.
Here is my yardstick photo hanger next to my framed clipboards.
Next, I hung my mom's photo on another clipboard and hung my tea towel on the purse handle beside it.
I also added the framed photo of my great grandparents' wedding.
I added another frame with a smaller clipboard inside it.
This is how the left side of the gallery wall turned out.
Here is the whole clipboard themed gallery wall.
This wall may get some additions at a later date, but for now, I am happy with it.

Hi, I really like this historic wall creation and want to remember this to do with some of our historic photos. The yard stick was ingenious and like that it is hung vertically.
ReplyDeleteI love the yardstick with clips. The gallery effect with the black and whites is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThis is great! Will have to try this!
ReplyDeleteYour gallery wall looks great, Carlene...we have a photo gallery of the kids and grandkids on clipboards in our hall, too! I love the idea with the yardstick! I need to make one...thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI love old pictures and the way you have them displayed is really nice as well as being unique.
ReplyDeleteI love that look! Old pictures are definitely the best. I'd take them any day over the digital world we live in now. And I really love that you repurposed the handbag handle. Very clever!
