Ikea Hack: Curtain Wire to Photo Display

Displaying a lot of photos in one area isn’t always easy. Especially if you have to mess with frames. And hanging those frames. And then making sure those frames are level and lined up.
Instead of doing all that work, this Ikea hack. You simply hang a curtain wire from Ikea and clip up photos instead of drapes. And if you’re none-too-handy with the drill, I’m sure your significant other, sibling, parent, friend etc. will enjoy drilling a few screws into the wall more than hanging a bunch of framed photos.
Don’t get me wrong, I love photo collages and gallery walls, but they take a lot of time and effort. I wanted something quick and easy to add a bit of pizzazz above my dining room table and this Ikea hack did just that.
Turn a curtain wire from Ikea into a fun photo display!
I like the touch of personality these photos add to my dining room.
This Ikea hack allowed me to display a bunch of photos in a small space.
I really like the look of square-shaped photos!
I also love that the photos are easy to change out.

    why not try picture hanging wire and stick on hooks, can find both at dollar store or wallmart

    Or use twine like I did in my classroom. Great for displaying all kinds of student work. I had the twinelines crisscrossing the room for up to the minute displays of art, essays, math... Held the pics up with clothespins.
