FFF – Tin can Photo Frames and saving clothing

September 30, 2011
Happy Fun, Free Friday lovelies!DIY Project
This is such a quirky, fun little project – tin can photo frames.  Huh?!  Yes, use your tin cans to display your photos in a kitchy, unexpected way.  I found this great tutorial on Photojojo and love the ease and unique way of presenting photos.  I may have to try this some day!  Can you imagine a collection of photo tin cans stacked together?  It would be a great rainy day project or one you can do with kids.
What photos would you display?

Otherwise, this weekend, I am…
…getting a beloved H&M midi skirt tailored.  I first mentioned this perfect indigo skirt here and found it after visiting 4 H&Ms in NYC/Syracuse.  Mr. Spend & Chomp is the official ironer in the household and didn’t realize that he had to change the setting to iron for my skirt and poof – the side melted a bit.  Luckily, it is not too far from the side seam, so I am hoping I can just get it altered slightly.  I am also going to do a mini closet cleanup this weekend to see what can be saved and what can be donated.  Sharing a closet is not easy, so I always have to think about what I’ll actually keep and wear!

What are you doing this weekend?

Have a fabulous weekend!

    I like the tin can frames! Too bad about the ironing accident, but hopefully it can be saved at the tailor. We are hosting a party for my husband’s birthday this weekend. I’m looking forward to it 🙂

  • Krysten @ Why Girls Are Weird September 30, 2011 at 13:28

    That is a GREAT idea!

  • Heather September 30, 2011 at 14:13

    What a fun idea! It reminds me of the water bottle I had made with a couple wedding pictures. Have a great weekend! We’ll be out celebrating my birthday, which I’m excited about.

    i’m bad at ironing and hate it, so i used a little steamer instead!

  • Ashleigh September 30, 2011 at 17:34

    That’s neat! Sharing a closet can be sooo hard but I think it’s good that it forces me to stay minimal sometimes. Have a lovely weekend!

    Such a cute idea! Have fun this weekend. Good luck with the closet cleanout. It’s so looming over my head… 🙂

  • drollgirl September 30, 2011 at 23:27

    these are so cute!!!!

    i hope your closet project goes well! i switched my spring/summer closet for my fall/winter closet, and there are several things to give away. that is always a good thing to do, even tho sometimes i eventually regret some of the things that i donate. oh well. whaddya gonna do. at least it is helping someone else out! 🙂

    have a fab weekend!!!!

  • Annemarie @ Brunch at Saks October 1, 2011 at 05:19

    Haha I love those! And I had to laugh when I read about melting your skirt with the iron. We had a similar incident with a ruffle top from J.Crew, so ever since then I take everything to the dry cleaner! Hope you have a great weekend 🙂 xx

    I’m going to be sewing and–you won’t believe this–reorganizing the closet yet again. I have to do this about once a week because everything is packed in there so tight . . .By wek’s end it’s a mess
