Easy-peasy fun frame holders

As most of you that have read my blog know, I am a member of JMS. http://junkmarketstyle.com/ 
Well I am sad that I am out of good Sue junk! It has been lots of fun!! I still want to try the night light thing. I just need a heavy & I mean heavy duty drill!! This has been a fun adventure. Thank you Sue for pulling it all together. I love seeing what everyone has received and made! 

Well my last things to use were those metal wick turners and the brass thing-a-jig. As you can see I used an old ruler and shiplap for the stand. I used old bailing wire for the photo holder. All ready had and cheap! We split the ruler for double coverage.
On the brass thing-a-jig I really wanted to make a night light. That is SOME tough metal. So this is what I did.


This is the brass thing-a-jig finished.The best part it was super simple easy peazy! I am again hooking up with Becky. Thanks so much to Becky for featuring me! I was so excited!!Beyond The Picket Fence

Hi Alice,
I loved your ideas for photo holders. Photo holders are one thing that I am always making out of ordinary items so I loved reading about your projects. Great ideas.
