Wire Picture Holders that Rock

wire picture holders
I think these wire picture holders totally rock! I rarely come across Craft Project Ideas where we can use beach rocks, so I was very happy when I discovered these picture holders on Daily Danny.

how to make wire picture holder
To make them, all you need are rocks, floral wire and photos or postcards to display.

make wire picture holder
Place two floral wire pieces in a cross, place rock on top, then twist the wire around the rock and onto itself...

... and twist a little spiral at the top of the wire, and you've got your wire picture holders! Here, you see the silver wire as is, while in the first shot the wires were covered with felt to give the picture holders a more polished look and some color. You can use all sorts of rocks; big ones, little ones, even stacked ones. I'll be hauling home more beach rocks for sure!

What an awesome gift idea!
I'm going to start my rock collection now so I'll have these one of kind beauties ready for Christmas. I'll put a colorful flair on them and hand paint a beach scene on them.

Thanks for the idea
:-)
