Do you have a favorite poster or piece of art to hang? Check out how I used chippy architectural salvage to create an easy DIY poster and art hanger with vintage style! \u00a0This DIY is budget-friendly and only takes minutes to make!<\/em><\/p>\n

started with a $0.50 vintage find at the Rehab Vintage Market <\/a><\/strong><\/span>open air market! \u00a0Isn’t that how a lot of snowballs start, after all?!<\/strong><\/p>\n This stack of old hotel ledger papers caught my attention and when I saw that they were from a hotel in Orlando, Florida,<\/strong> I knew I’d have to find a way to use them. \u00a0Such fun pieces of history! \u00a0(My daughter also thought they were fun because she was studying Switzerland for her country notebook and had just written about the city of Lucerne!)<\/p>\n To make a long story short, this $0.50 find inspired my whole “decor story” for this summer.<\/strong> \u00a0Our family loves to travel and we have big ambitions and ideas about where our family adventures can take us. \u00a0But at the end of it all, home sweet home is the best place. \u00a0And so, a decor theme of “summer travel” was born!<\/p>\n I knew I really didn’t want to have to make any holes in these old pages or use tape that could rip them either.<\/strong> \u00a0A poster hanger seemed like a really great option, but they just didn’t have a lot of vintage appeal. \u00a0After that idea, it led me to hunting for some salvage pieces and I couldn’t have been more excited to find $6 chippy salvage pieces in my favorite blue-gray color!<\/p>\n Here’s how I made them (and how you can make some too!):<\/p>\n

hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Cut your salvage piece to the desired length. \u00a0I want to be able to use mine for a variety of things<\/strong> down the road (plus I like the overhang), so I left my pieces the length that I found them. \u00a0Fortunately, a whole section of trim had already been cut into matching pieces.<\/p>\n I got lucky on this one. \u00a0<\/strong>Since then, however, I have seen a number of salvage bundles, thin sticks, etc. that would work perfectly. \u00a0Maybe you can get lucky too, since you now know what to watch for!<\/p>\n My pieces are approximately 16″ on the flat back side; the corner cuts stick out an inch or so further on each end.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image

_module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Next, you’ll space out your magnets and hot glue to the back of the salvage piece<\/strong>. \u00a0While I needed magnets closer to the middle for my vintage ledger pages, I went ahead and put magnets at the ends too. \u00a0This will give me more size options down the road and I can always add more magnets, if needed, to fit a different piece of art or poster.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image

_module_preset=”default” text_font_size=”16px” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n After that, it’s time to add your twine. \u00a0I chose jute twine<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>because I feel like it just blends with my decor. \u00a0You could add any kind of rope or ribbon that you prefer!<\/p>\n First, you need to determine how much swag you want<\/strong> when you hang your DIY poster or art hanger. \u00a0I know I’ll be using mine in a gallery wall. \u00a0Consequently, I chose to go with a shorter length so it takes less hanging space.<\/p>\n I cut my twine to 15 inches for the size wood and swag that I wanted.<\/p>\n Next, hot glue each end of the twine to the back of your salvage piece<\/strong>. \u00a0The back of my DIY poster or art hanger isn’t beautiful, really, but an extra layer of hot glue over the top of the twine adds more security since the wood is a little heavy.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image
