Re-Purposed Crib Rail Photo Display
March 21, 2015
I purchased this vintage crib rail with the fun plastic ABC letters for $12 at a consignment shop a couple of days ago.
First, I gave the rail a couple of coats of Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in "Cream".
I also painted some wooden clothespins.
I distressed the piece, and then brushed on ASCP clear wax. I glued the clothespins on the rails with Aleene's Fast Tack Glue.
Remember when I told you I was making a gallery wall in the hallway with photos displayed in unique ways? Well, this is the first piece hung on the gallery wall.
I clipped some vintage "family" baby photos on the rail with the clothespins. Of course I can change this up very easily. I may make copies of any vintage originals since the photos are not protected behind glass.
