I have been buying frames when I find a good deal at the thrift store. Art doesn't understand why we need all these frames. I always say this is a good deal I will use it. Well here is one I used. I wanted to make a peg board to hold all my thread in my craft room. I bought the peg board and wooden dowel for about $6 at Lowe's. I picked up the frame below with the lovely painting for $1.98 at the thrift store. Look at my DIY thread holder. I LOVE it!!!! So much easier to find all my thread!
I traced the peg board out using the frame as my pattern, then we cut the peg board with the electric saw. I measured 2 inches along the entire wooden dowel and cut them with the multi-tool. I used the electric sander to smooth all the edges and ends of the dowels.
Finished result!!!

How clever! Great deal finding that cheap frame too!
I see one of those being made in my basement in the near future

This is a good idea - the store-bought ones can be kind of pricey and aren't nearly as cute.
Great idea, I plan to try this out!
What a great idea~ I'd love it if you'd stop by my Topsy Turvy Tuesday Link party and add this thread holder!!
