Thursday’s Theme – OuT oF tHe OrDiNaRy Photo Displays}

I went looking through my workshop for
other old things that could serve a new purpose
holding photos and this antique lawn mower
handle seemed like a good candidate.
I added some little bulldog clips (aff. link)and a
hanger on the back and I love it!

Here are more unusual items I’ve used
as photo displays.

Wire brushes are a simple way to display photos.
Just slide the photo between the bristles.

I had 2 of these cool, old springs that came from
an antique rocking chair.  I just painted a piece
of wood and screwed them to it.

These metal springs are made of thinner metal
and are easy to bend and shape and can be
attached to wood as well, with some little “U” nails.

This is an old camping toaster
makes a nice way to prop up a photo also.

This old lantern was missing the glass globe,
but the little slit where the wick once came out
is just the right size to place a photo inside.

That one sold, but I have another one almost identical
that I placed a telephone insulator inside of, with an
LED flicker light – both are removable, so a photo
could be added to it as well.

I think old tools, like these wrenches are perfect
photo displays for a photos of men.

Tarnished old silver plates – just add photo corner stickers.

Metal hangers – love them!
A set of 3 of them are available HERE.

This was part of a small sleeve ironing board.
I just added an old receipt clip I had,
along with an antique advertisement.

I am giddy when I find old clipboards that
have developed pretty wear and patina.
