Grandma's Pins!

I painted my bathroom a year and a half ago and I am still trying to decorated it! I just have not found all the right babbles to make it that perfect space that I have in mind. This is driving my hubby crazy by the way.
A couple of weeks ago my youngest came down with strep and she loves company when she isn't feeling well. So I had many hours of sitting in bed watching Disney channel; after about two hours straight I stole dear hubby's Ipad and pinned my little heart out.
This is something that caught my eye since I inherited my grandmother's pins.

Not sure how I was going to incorporate this into my house, but if you are as addicted to Pinterest as I am you know you pin it just incase.
After about three days of playing nurse I had my own case of cabin fever and needed a little mommy time. So I ventured out to the biggest resale shop in our little town. I was browsing the frame section (one of my favorite sections) and found these....

I knew these were perfect frames for my pins; I also knew exactly where these would go....

This silly little space in my bathroom. Yea!!

These are the pins I wanted to frame.
So this is how I did it....
I measured and cut a piece of foam board to fit in the frames. I used natural colored canvas for my background; so I measured and cut it slightly bigger than the foam board. Last I sprayed one side of the foam board with adhesive; let it dry until it is tacky before you apply the material. While the adhesive drying I marked the middle of my canvas, pinning the pins in the center.
Finally the adhesive was ready and I smoothed the material on the boards, put then in the frames, ready to hang!
Once I hung the first one on the wall I realized the stands on the back made the stick out so I added command adhesives to the back and YES now they are really ready to hang!!!

So beautiful and a great reminder of my grandmother and friend!

Enjoy a memorable 24-7
