Photo holder

Tutorial for my photo-card-memo holder
First there are so many way to vary and use this idea!!

This is the first one I made. 


But I'm going to show you how to make a bigger cuter one!!
You will need to select a piece of wood.





I choose the long one .. it's a scrap so .. I clean and sand it.

Decide how many holders hearts you want .. 
I decided on 9!!
My block in 7 1/2 inches long I came in 1 1/2 inch on both ends and marked every 1/2 inch
(none of this is set in stone it's just what
looks good) 




In a straight line to the front and to the back of the lines 
you already have so mark your drill spots 

Now is the time to decide on your wire .. my original holder 
was done with copper because it was what I had on hand.. for this one I'm using 18ga ..because it's cheep and easy to 
work with .. 



Use a drill bit as close to the size of your wire I used 1/16 for 
this project! Try to drill all the whole to the same depth.




I cute my wires 15 inches long 




Take the wire around 8 inches and twiste

Shape into the heart 



Bind around into another heart









Now to make 9 of them. 

Now cut the ends for the height 
I too about 2 inches off the back row and about 3 off the front 
This is another part that is completely up to you and what you are wanting it to look like 
add just a dab of glue to each wire end


And Wa La .. this can be 
painted .. this one will be..  
can be stained too!!
