Mary Insana on Nov 01, 2012I saw something like this once. Use chalkpaint, hang it on the wall and put a little hook of some kind on the wall in the upper center. You can hang different holiday themed decorations on the wall which would be inside the frame. I saw this idea with cut out paper hearts draped side to side too. You can hand a small mirror inside it or a small picture, a wreath, a candle sconce. The possibilities are endless,have fun with it.Helpful Reply

Good luck:)Helpful Reply

Sharon E. Hines on Nov 09, 2012Thank you, @Rachel Medina . I haven't quite made up my mind, but perhaps I shouldn't overthink it. There are more frames sitting in a closet... Thanks for the inspiration.Helpful Reply

Sharon E. Hines on Nov 09, 2012@MarriePierrette , first save your photos to your computer. Once you login to Hometalk, you should see a red button at the top right that says "Post". Click on that. From there you will be able to describe your photos and upload them. Let me know if I can help you further.Helpful Reply

Too449355 on Aug 30, 2014I have seen an idea......remove the glass. Put little eye screws inside the frame on the top underside....3-4 and with thin ribbon, hang little stars??? or metal flowers. Use the same ribbon but wider to hang the frame. You could also paint the frames red or green and do a Christmas theme.....with ornaments!Helpful Reply
