Frame It

I've been trying to redecorate a bit, using the whole "borrow from one room to decorate another room" idea.  And then I came across a neat & inexpensive idea for framing photos:  in mason jars.  I got the idea here and I love how it turned out!  My pics are not the best because the room these are in gets very little natural light.  But - you get the idea.



Rapper-L, do you recognize the pic of G in the background?  It's from the time we all went canoeing in college.  "What are you thinking, B?"  "I'm thinking, Huck Finn.  What are you thinking, L?"



Ideas:

1.  Buy jars of varying size and shape.  Mine range from about 2x2 inches, to about 6x6 inches.

2.  After placing the picture in the jar, stuff colored tissue paper behind it to add an extra burst of color.

3.  Change the pictures out for different seasons, or simply to change the look of the room.

  1. I do recognize that picture! I think what I remember most from that (or at least some other canoeing trip) is jumping into frigid water and swimming to the shore shivering and muttering, "this is the stupidest thing I have ever done in my entire life!"
