Picture Time, It's Picture Time

So you found this "to shabby to pass up" picture at your local thrift store/flea market, insert place __ here.  Only problem is there appears to be no way to hang it.  Do not fear, I Sarah the oh so shabby newbie can show you.  I am sure many would have seen the answer admittedly, I however a few years ago would have never come to this conclusion.

Steps:
Find an oh so shabby picture.  Ours found on Ebay for $9.99 (you know she was not happy about selling it for that cheap).


Purchase a nifty little Picture hanging kit (can be found at most local dollar stores).  Then locate the 2 of the hook/loop pieces & wire.

Next screw one of the loops into the frame.  I suggest more towards the top so it doesn't hang to far from the wall, but the choice is yours. Use a measuring tape or something with a straight edge to insert the second screw loop.


Then take the wire that is included in the picture hanging kit & loop it between the two screws.  Make sure you get it good & tight on each end.  I just used the wire that came with my picture, since it was missing only one screw.

Then TADA!!

Your wonderfully shabby cheap picture is ready to hang.

So you see, it's all rather quite simple & cheap.

Prices:
         Picture & frame- $9.99each on Ebay + shipping (bought two pictures so shipping was $21.35)
         Picture hanging kit- Family Dollar $1.00
