Repurpose or Upcylce Old Wooden Frame and Flatware Fork

After searching for ideas to repurpose or upcycle old picture frames and flatware, and finding nothing new or exciting I came up with this brilliant idea.

Easily change out the photo or card to create new instantly framed art for home decor.

What you'll need:

1. Old wood picture frame. You'll want it big enough to attach a fork.
2. Small wood screws with heads large enough to cover the edges of the fork.
3. Drill and bit that is smaller than the wood screw.
4. Fork.
5. Scrap fabric (or use ribbon you have laying around).
6. Pencil, marker, pen or something to mark with.

Pound the fork flat with a hammer on a hard surface. I sometimes lay a folded paper towel on top of the fork if I'm concerned about hammer marks. In this instance, I wasn't concerned.

Bend the two middle tines back a bit to make it easier to insert a photo or card.

Find the horizontal middle of the bottom of the frame. Here, I eyeballed the middle while moving the fork up and down to find the height I wanted to not only hold a horizontal picture but a vertical picture or card, as well.

Note: I liked the color and appearance of this frame so didn't bother with painting it or changing it's original appearance.

With a pencil or marker, make a mark on both sides of the fork where you will drill and add screws. Drill pilot holes then partially screw down the screws.

Slide the fork between the screws and while holding in place completely tighten the screws.

I used Liquid Nails to glue my scrap material bow in place.

You may have to move the hanger on the back if you made a vertical frame into a horizontal one (or vice-versa).
