Have you fallen in love with chicken wire yet? I have fallen. Hard. After seeing some Lovely Chicken wire frames on pinterest, I had to make my own version, of course. Speaking of pinterest, have you fallen in love with that lovely site yet?? I have.. even harder than chicken wire… I’m a pinning addict! I can’t stop. Go follow me on Pinterest HERE & be addicted with me. Back to the chicken wire….
I made an old window into a picture “frame” using chicken wire.. love.
What I used…
Wire cutters, Staple gun, chicken wire, binder clips & window frame…
First I took out all the glass panels in the window & gave the front of the window a fresh coat of paint with a little distressing. I stapled the chicken wire to the back of the frame. I actually did two layers of the chicken wire because one layer was too spaced out. Yup, that’s about it.
All these lovely photos I chose are from Rach Lea Photography. Haven’t checked out her page yet? Well you should.. she is amazing & captures all of our lovely family memories for us.
I love my little yellow end table… I just wish I had a place for it.. blog post on the way.
I am in love with this chicken wire frame. I want to make different versions of this, but I love my first attempt!
Can we just take a moment to laugh at Bella when she used to have long hair. Chubaka!
How has your week been? Mine has been super busy.. Do I say that too much? I feel like I’m constantly saying it & I annoy myself when I say it because I’m like, well then slow down woman! But I can’t, I work a full time job, have a wonderful husband, two puppies, & friends to spend time with, & I have way too many hobbies. I love it. So when I say I’m busy, it’s a good thing! We have friends coming in from Michigan this weekend, a whole 17 hour drive to spend time with us? I’m so excited… I’m getting ready to show them some North Carolina hospitality. We have tons of stuff planned, & I can’t wait for their arrival tomorrow night!! Have an awesome weekend everyone!!

You're too funny! I'm afraid to look at pinterest, I dont have time to get addicted to something else!! Haha!
Very cute, love it!

So fun! I love chicken wire too. So versatile!
I have a chicken wire project I'm working on now – trying to wrap it around a large glass vase and shape it a bit. Not easy! But I do love some chicken wire.
And pinterest? That's why I am up so late (East coast time) Amazing crazy creative and down right gorgeous stuff.
This turned out great! Are there different varieties of chicken wire? I had to decide between using chicken wire or burlap to back my window frame that I'm working on – I chose burlap this time around. But have you seen this?: http://www.flamingotoes.com/2011/04/simple-spring-framed-vases/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+FlamingoToes+%28Flamingo+Toes%29
UH-MAY-ZING. Thought you would enjoy it if you hadn't already!
That is too adorable!! I love old windows!
love!!
Adorable ideas here! I'm a new follower from Boost and I had to follow if not just for your use of the word lovely. It's one of my favorite words!
This is a wonderful frame, looks fantastic! I'm yet to use chicken wire, but definitely want to give it a go!

Hey Liz Marie!
I'm visiting from Freckled Laundry and as soon as I saw the chicken wire, I knew I needed to check out your post.
Your first attempt at this frame turned out wonderfully! It has my gears turning as I think about how great one like that would look in my hallway–and how I could switch out the pictures whenever I want. I have a hard time committing to hanging up pictures so this would totally satisfy that desire to routinely change things up.
Can't wait to check out your blog more–I just saw a link to a post on painted mason jars that's totally calling out to me…
Take care,
Erin

Oh No! Not another project I have to add to my LOng list of to dos! Love your frame
Aww,it's awesome…thats a great idea!
Although my comment has absolutely no bearing on this particular post, I couldn't resist.
I just wanted to say that I just ran across your blog .. and I'm so glad I did.
I love, love, love, the idea of the painted mason jars, and the mason jar organizer so much that I think those will be my next projects. I have a ton of mason jars left over from a friends wedding that I haven't had a clue what to do with them!
Love it!

Hey Liz, I wanted to let you know that I featured your window today: http://adiamondinthestuff.blogspot.com/2011/05/time-to-shine-features-no-19.html
This turned out so great! I have window that has been hanging in our bedroom that this would be perfect for.
This is adorable. I always see old windows left lying on the road, and this is yet another good use for them. I'm curious-how did you take the glass out without hurting yourself? I would be hesitant. But I'm sorta non-graceful.
you are so photogenic! or just pretty to start with haha. great project, and great pics you put on it!
This is such an awesome idea. Great job.
Great project and wonderful job momma! Stopping by from the Blog it Forward Tuesday blog hop!
I look forward to connecting with you!
~Stay blessed!
