In our apartment we had some dead space in one of the hallways. I wanted to fill it with pictures of both my boyfriend’s and my family members but I didn’t just want to simply hang normal frames. Instead I wanted to do something like what I found on Michaels.com, which was just attaching ribbon to a frame and hanging the frame on a coat rack. So here is what I did:
What you need:
- Frames
- Paint
- Paint brush
- Ribbon
- Scissors
- Glue gun
- Coat rack
For the coat rack I wanted something basic. I found a simple metal rack that could hold 3 frames and I bought 2. You could used a rack that had a wood backing (which is what they did on Michaels.com) or you could make your own by buying the wood and hooks.
And done!
I love walking by this display and seeing our families.
Thanks for having me, Dana!

Hello, your photo gallery looks very beautiful. I just made my own photo gallery, too using the curtain rod but my problem is the curtain rod that I bought was installed in such a way that the rod was just way too far from the wall so when I tried hanging my frames with the ribbons, the frame would dangle and would not be steady. They were like in mid air so to speak. How did you manage to make those frames steady? Thank you very much.
