Hey guys, it's Megan!


I recently posted a video showing some DIY Wall Art you can make using things you have at home. If you missed it, you can check it out here!



One of my favorite projects in this video was this faux wood hanging poster frame. I honestly don't know what these are called, but they sell them at places like Urban Outfitters, etc.

For this project you'll need:

* Cardboard

* Mini Magnets (optional)


Start by drawing whatever you’d like on your paper.


If you’re not a huge fan of drawing, you could always print something out.

I drew these Keith Haring inspired figures.


To make the frame, I measured the top edge of my drawing on a piece of cardboard, and cut out 4 strips that were 1 inch wide.

Cut cardboard into four 1 inch strips to make the base of the DIY hanging picture frame.

I covered each strip with wood print contact paper. If you don’t have contact paper, you can find a wood grain pattern online and print it out to make DIY scrapbook paper. Or just cover it with any other paper you have on hand.

Cover the cardboard strips with contact paper.

I took two of those cardboard pieces and hot glued some mini magnets on the back.

Use hot glue to stick mini magnets on the back of each cardboard strip.

If you don’t have magnets, no worries. Just hot glue the cardboard strips to the top and bottom of your paper.


To finish the frame, use a little more hot glue to stick a piece of ribbon to the back of one of the cardboard strips.

Hot glue a piece of ribbon to the back to hang the DIY hanging picture frame.

If you used magnets, you can stick your drawing in between the two top pieces, and add the other two on the bottom.

Again, if you don’t have magnets, just hot glue the cardboard pieces on to the top and bottom of your drawing.

Cho: Back in 2006, I was link working at my first job in London. Back then, vintage watches weren't really a thing like they are now. But there was a second-hand watch shop I kept walking by and I'd catch myself looking in the link window at an link old Omega Chronostop and thinking to myself, "Oh, that's really cool." There was an instant love of the design.

The Zodiac Sea-Chron - link some historyUnbeknownst to most, Zodiac link had been making a very attractive, but far more rudimentary three-register Valjoux 72-powered chronograph prior to the introduction of the Zodiac Sea-Chron link in the later 1960’s.

I'm not going to sit link here and pretend that this pick will appeal to everyone's link taste (or financial link circumstances, for that matter) – I wouldn't dare! Rather, this is something made for a specific persuasion of a watch enthusiast or collector. It's bold. It's gold. And green! It's the antithesis of quiet luxury.

Instead of red, this execution featuring a chronograph complication link utilized orange as an accent color against a white wave dial. The inclusion of the caliber link 1164 (Valjoux/ETA 7750 base) forced the steel case thickness link to swell to 16mm. High-visibility orange was also used in the blue titanium version.
