Recycling old picture frames

My mom gave me a bunch of old frames when she redecorated her house last year. I added a few others I had gathered and set out to make a hanging divider for my carport/back porch area.

Here's what I started with:



I painted the frames with leftover exterior house paint and then went over them with a final coat of high-gloss spray paint. Once they were dry, I arranged them and bound everything with some telephone wire a coworker gave me.



When I was ready to hang it all up, I connected the four top frames to a stabilizing metal rod (from the fencing aisle at Home Depot). I put up five or six nails and ... voila!




I made the frame divider to fit in front of this bamboo screen thing. Because the screen is a little too short, I spray-painted this piece of scrap wood to put at the bottom. I used weeds pulled out of my yard for stencils.
