DIY: Ply & rope photo hangers

As featured in this Savannah inspired nursery these photo hangers are an inexpensive and effective way to display precious memories. Super easy to swap out the photos as often as you like too!
You will need:
〰️ 7mm ply – cut into pieces that are 20cm wide and 30cm in length
〰️ Resene Colorwood Natural Interior Stain in Ironbark and Walnut
〰️ Cotton rope
Get some 7mm ply and cut into pieces which are 20cm wide and 30cm in length.
We stained ours in Resene Colorwood Natural Interior Stain in Ironbark and Walnut.
Drill two holes in the top of the ply and thread some cotton rope through, tying knots at the front of the boards as seen in the picture.
Either glue or use double sided tape to stick your photos or prints onto the boards and hang up in room.
