Antique Window #7

at 12:20 PM Labels: Antique window

There are so many pictures of the family that I like that I didn't want to just place in a book.  I wanted to display them, but not in those cheap looking frames with the rectangle, oval and squares cutout in the mat...do you know what I am talking about?  So I thought, why not put them in a collage behind an antique window.
I found a large, weathered antique window and then gathered a variety of pictures, trying to make sure I had several of each child.
I then took some poster paper and traced lines showing where window pane would be, in other words you don't want pictures behind the wooden pieces of wood in the center of the window.  I began overlapping pictures and placing them in random spots.  I attached the pictures to the poster paper with double sided scrapbooking tape.
I attached the poster board to the wooden frame of the window with a staple gun.  I will admit this might be easier than it looks.  I have one spot where the staple came through the picture and you can see it, and another spot where the window cracked in the lower right corner.  But all in all I liked the way it turned out, showing a variety of pictures of the kids at various ages.  
A great way to show off some of those favorite photos, yet still keeping that antique look in your home...
