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!
