How to make a wire photo or card holder

              With just a piece of bailing wire

 

                              you can turn old salt and pepper shakers into a place you can display

                               your photos. What a beautiful center piece for a wedding or party.

             
                                                                  Here's what you need :

                                           Any miscellaneous shaker, with or without a mate



                                      Bailing wire- 16 or 18 gauge- approx. 12 '' per holder

                                                    Home Depot approx. $3.00 a roll


                                                        One roll will last a lifetime!

 

Needle nose Pliers

 

A pencil to wrap around

 

 

Cut a piece of wire about 12''

 

Use pliers to curl in at one end. This will protect you from the sharp ends.

 

                   Make a loop, about the size of a quarter-twice, this is where the photo will be held.

 

 

Wrap the straight end 2 or 3 times around a pencil. Slide the pencil out and your holder is done.

 

                   Use your hands to straighten and adjust where needed. Now decide how tall you

 

                                                 want your holder to be and trim with pliers.

                                                         Here are some variations. Have fun !

                                            I use mine to display some vintage Valentines.
