Outdoor Time Capsule

Photos aren't limited to inside your house...
These make me smile everytime I walk out the back door.

Two old picture frames,
4 16 x 20 pictures developed at Sam's Club,
2 pieces of foam board for backing,
tube of caulk,
wire for hanging.
Done.

These have been left outside through 2 Winters now....
and they still look great.

...and when they are driving me crazy
(like right now...9:11, and the girls are still yacking away....)

I can look at these 4 pics,
and smile.

  1. What did you do to make them water and mold resistant? Here in this climate I am not sure it would work....but they look great, and huge!

  7. You...are a flippin' genius. I have a similar display inside, but am absolutely in love with this idea! (And I have some old windows that would do the trick, with a little revamping.) Thanks for posting this, Julie!

  8. What a fantastic idea! I love it. I have the same question as cranberry cottage - how do you keep them from molding. It is very humid down here. Is that where the caulk comes in?
