DIY reclaimed wood picture holder

Have a scrap piece of wood? Make a DIY reclaimed wood picture holder with your scrap pieces.

This scrap reclaimed wood picture holder was insanely easy to make. While I love painting there was no painting, no drying times, no staining, literally no fuss! I had it up and holding pictures within minutes.

I’ve been redecorating our master bedroom on a shoestring budget. From the paint to the décor my goal is to spend less than $100 to redo our bedroom. This DIY craft most definitely fits into the budget since I only had to pay for the photo prints (they were a whopping .09 apiece).

I can’t wait to get our room all finished up and show you guys how it turns out but for now, I will show you the DIY picture holder I made to go along with the rest of my frugal décor in our room.

1. GATHER MATERIALS

I didn’t have any sawtooth hangers so I used some fancy picture-hanging hardware and it required a drill.

2. LAY OUT YOUR PHOTOS

To be sure I had the spacing right I laid my 4×6 photos out on my reclaimed wood. I just eyeballed this but if you want yours to be perfect and exact you can use your tape measure to perfect your spacing.

3. HAMMER IN THE CLIPS

The clips I used already had nails attached to them. They were a little difficult to hammer into the wood though. I am fairly certain, since the clips I used were in the office department of the store, that they were made to push into a corkboard and not wood. But hey, it worked!

4. ATTACH HANGING HARDWARE

If you need a visual on how to attach a sawtooth hanger check out this post. I used my Ryobi drill to screw in my hardware but a drill isn’t completely necessary, a screwdriver will work too it’s just not as quick and easy.

5. ADD YOUR PICTURES & HANG ON THE WALL

This reclaimed wood photo holder is going in our master bedroom so I tried to choose photos that were good ones of both my husband and myself.
