A Re-Purposed Chair Back Photo Hanger
April 18, 2015
I have a few more free chair backs from my Junkin' Friend Jodi.
For this repurpose, first, I sawed the spindles off of the bottom of the chair back. I hope to find projects for the spindles as well.
Next I painted the chair back top with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in "Old White". I also wet distressed the piece and waxed it with clear wax.
Then I glued four wooden gray stained clothespins on the chair back, with *Elmer's ProBond Glue. I also added the curved metal hanger part from a vintage wooden suit hanger. These hanger parts are threaded and screwed easily into the top of the chair back with a little start from the drill. I painted an antique brass floral drawer knob back with Annie Sloan Chalk Paint in "French Linen" and screwed it into the center of the chair back. Lastly, I added vintage black and white photos to the clothespins and hung the photo holder on the wall!
This was a very easy project, requiring minimal skills!
The photo hanger is perfect with vintage decor!
* Update: I ended up putting small nails in the clothespins as the glue did not hold after a while. I would either nail, screw or use E6000 on this project!

How pretty! I have an old curved chair back that I've been saving until something to do with it came up... I think this may be it! :o]
