\"Pallet<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

I am totally excited to finally share this project with you! I saw this gorgeous reclaimed wood and burlap extra-large picture frame from\u00a0Iron Accents\u00a0and instantly fell in love. The problem: It\u2019s $110! The solution: pallets and burlap I had lying around from other projects.\u00a0 I decided to hang this frame in our hall bathroom. I felt like it needed one more piece of art after we completed the\u00a0antiqued washroom banner<\/a>\u00a0and it fit the rustic vintage theme of the room.\u00a0 I also had this picture of the girls I had taken a while ago in the tub that I loved. This seemed like the perfect way to utilize it.\u00a0 This entire project cost me $3.38 ($1.50 for the 8 x 10 print from Target and $1.88 for the\u00a0decorative nails\u00a0from Hancock Fabrics). I started this project by prepping the wood. Even though we saved these pallets from a dumpster they were practically new blonde wood and I really wanted to replicate the aged and varied wood tones from the original frame. If you are also starting with blonde wood here is a tutorial I made on\u00a0how I aged the wood with paint and stain:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I was waiting for the wood to dry I made my picture mat. I had this matting already lying around. I probably took it out of an old frame and it was pretty beat up. The burlap was left over from the burlap art <\/a>I had made previously for the living room. All I did was cut the burlap slightly larger than the mat and hot glue the outside edges to the back of the mat. Once I was done with the outside edge I used a utility knife to cut out the inside of the mat, then I glued that down as well.<\/p>\n\n\n

Here\u2019s what it looked like when I was all done. I was actually pretty nervous about how the burlap mat would work but it turned out to be super easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, I laid out the wood to get the look I was going for. I used the mat as a template to decide how big I wanted the frame to be.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Pallet<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Using a chop saw Cody trimmed all the wood to be the same length.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n

\n
\"Pallet<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

We decided to create a border for the frame using more scrap pallet wood, which was a different wood tone. This allowed us to nail all the different pieces into the top and bottom edge of the interior portion of the frame and ensure that their were no nails showing on the front. We used a pneumatic brad nail gun attached to our air compressor to secure the border to the wood.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Pallet<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Next, I secured the print to the matting simply taping it down with masking tape.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Pallet<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

To give the frame so extra flair we decided to attach the mat to the frame using\u00a0decorative nails<\/a>\u00a0(this is an affiliate but is also the exact nails I used) which you can pick up at most craft stores or online.\u00a0 These came from the upholstery section of\u00a0Hancock Fabric\u00a0and are 3\/4\u2033 square nails. They also make it easy to switch out the picture in the future as all you have to do it pull out the nails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After marking where we wanted the nails to go with a black marker we simply hammered them in using a rubber mallet.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Pallet<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

And here it is with the matting all attached!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Pallet<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

To hang the picture Cody attached 2 screws to the back of the frame and connected them with picture hanging wire we had left over from a store bought frame that came with extra. You can also see how ugly the back of the frame is compared to the front.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Pallet<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

And here is the finished product hung up in the bathroom! I love how rustic and yet simple it is.<\/p>\n\n\n

You can see how the entire cottage bathroom makeover turned out here<\/a>. And don\u2019t forget to check out the rustic moose head<\/a> we made from the remaining pallet wood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
