Don't want to do 3 panels? Just do one! |
Start with the boards. Either buy some precut boards or cut them down to the correct size. |
Spray paint your boards. Be sure to cover the sides. |
Once your paint has dried grab your eye hooks. I drilled a few holes in the top and bottom of my boards to ensure they were all in the same place. |
Screw them in |
Let the Mod Podge dry for about 12 hours. Then sand down the edges. I roughed up other parts of the board and some parts of the photograph too. |
Use your twine to connect all the pieces. This was the hardest part of this project for me. You want to make sure the twine on each side is the same length or your photos will hang crooked. |
Here are my 3 photos: Summer time in the backyard |

And you're ready to wrap it up. |

My ivy plant... beautiful. The plain old stick in the middle of the pot... ugly! Plus with my Updated Plant Stand I needed to complete the entire project. And how perfect is this pot for this project? It already has twine (or rope) wrapped around it. A perfect fit! |
Next I brought out the twine and wrapped around each of the joints. I am not a knot expert so I have no idea what you would call this but I wrapped them in a cross-cross pattern. |
Pull your longer pieces of ivy up through the top of the tower and let some of the shorter ones fall on the lower twigs and you have an Ivy Tower! |
Find some animals you like. I wish I had found a few more. As morbid as it seems, use a saw or utility knife and cut the heads off. |
Still think it's not morbid? Unfortunately a new dog sitter came over to meet my furbabies with these out on my counter. I'm hoping she didn't call an animal abuse hotline. |
And here we are! |
Apparently I did a pretty good job arranging the animals without even knowing. My nephew's fav animal is the elephant. Front and center! |
Go to Google.com and click on the Images tab along the top. The Google Images page will include a camera icon within the search bar at the far right. |
After you click on the camera icon, this box will appear. You can either paste the image directly into the field (Ctrl V) or you can upload an image you've saved on your computer. |
I decided to search for an image I saved. I know I copied the pic from Funky Junk Interiors (awesome blog!!!) but for purposes of this exercise, we'll pretend I can't remember. |
A window will pop open for you to search for the image you've saved, in this case a large # 2 Donna created. This one was out on my desktop. Click 'Open' once you've selected the correct image |
You should see it searching (or the little spinning wheel as some call it) ..... |
And voila! There's the image along with the correct website! MAGIC! |
