Découpaged Photo Hanging Frame

Photos are an important part of most peoples lives, they act like memories so that we don't forget what was.  Our children at a younger age, a deceased family member or just happy occasions that make us smile so its an added bonus when you come across a pretty way to display them.

I love the idea of this découpaged and painted photo frame with string and pegs to hang your favourite pics.

You can choose any pattern, design or colour that you like and the beauty of this one is you can very easily change photos from one day to the next.  Of course it's so pretty as it is that you wouldn't have to hang any photos on it and could just use it for little notes to yourself (or others); reminders, shopping lists, or quotes for positive thinking and wellbeing - the list is endless!

Great Gift Ideas

It's getting close to that time of year again where we spend our time planning for Christmas and trying to source unusual gifts for friends and family.

It's a difficult job trying to find something that is a little different and doesn't cost the earth.  This year, Funky-Junk has the answer with their beautiful handmade vintage style photo hanging plaquettes.  These plaquettes are all one of a kind, affordable and make wonderful gifts.

With a choice of background design and colour, a little ribbon and peg hangs from the frame which gives the option of placing a photo if desired... but these decorative plaquettes with their fabulous design and colours look great in any setting with or without a photo attached.

Birds on a Branch Vintage Style Plaquette

I love bird designs especially vintage style bird designs so I couldn't resist making this lovely plaquette which I am so tempted to keep for myself.  The pink base is a mix of red, white and cream paint that I mixed up myself to create this great colour.  Of course, I didn't write down the amounts so it will be a challenge trying to make the same colour again!  I think the pink is a great match and at the same time, contrast to the blue and I will definitely reuse this design - maybe next time I will try it with an orange background.  I hope you enjoyed my post, I'd love to hear what you think or answer any questions, so don't forget to comment below or on my Facebook page.

Multi Frame Plaquette

This is one of my larger plaquettes for hanging several different sized photos.  I painted this one in pale grey with a darker grey crackle finished edge as usual using my own mix chalk paint.  Pastel hearts and sparkle finish completed the look along with some varying shaped frames.  It is making a long journey at the end of the week, all the way from Dublin to it's new home in Arizona.

Vintage Roses Photo Hanging Plaquette

My new design Vintage Roses Photo Hanging Plaquette went down a treat with it's new owner and resulted in an abundance of requests for the same style so I will be a busy bee for the next while making sure I get all my orders completed in time while at the same time keeping up with the furniture upstyling taking place in my small studio!!  I can barely fit myself in at the moment due to the amount of work going on - I need to think about a bigger space soon!

Here's some pics of the Vintage Roses Plaquette which can be used for hanging a favourite photo using the mini peg which is attached to the ribbon within the frame.  This time, I went for a vertical design and included the person's name inside the frame as an added touch.  She loved it and I am happy to say there will be more similar to this in the near future.  Thanks for dropping by, don't forget to call again soon to see what's happening at Funky-Junk.
