Are your bookshelves and closets filled with long forgotten coffee table books? Well get to rippin! This cheap and unique piece of wall art is a great way to display those gorgeous pictures. Not counting the photo books it'll cost you less than $10. Of course re-gifting is out, unless it's in the form of a grid.
What You'll Need:
Box of 1" finishing nails
120' of 28 gauge steel wire
Photos from coffee table books
Measuring tape
Hammer
Pin or needle
Level
Scissors or wire cutters
Xacto knife
Pencil
Plywood or particleboard
How's it Hangin'?
The most convenient way to do this project is on a board. You can hang it as is or easily transfer the finished piece by recreating the grid of nails directly onto the wall.
Measure the size of your wall space and decide how large you want to make your grid.
Add two inches to the length and two to the width. Cut your particleboard or plywood to this size.
From the edges, measure in one inch and mark lightly with a pencil to define a one inch border around the board.
From the left corner of the border, measure in one inch and mark, measure down one inch and mark. Repeat for each corner of the frame. You'll end up with eight marks.
Divide the space between the marks on each edge of the border into equal parts and mark.
On each mark, hammer in a nail leaving ½" above the board.
