Vintage Window Wall-Display

A few weeks after finding this vintage window at one of my favorite local antique stores (The Front Porch Antique Mall) I finally decided what I was going to do with it! 

Phase One:

• Attach two hooks to the back (one on each side of the top portion).
• Tip: To position your nails just right the first try.. simply run a piece of painter's tape from one hook to the other, poke a hole where the nail rest, center and level your tape on the wall, and hammer your nails right into the holes you poked. Perfecto!

Phase Two:

• Measure the back of the window from the center of the boards and use the measurements to cut from a roll of cork.
• Place the cork on a piece of burlap, go around it with some Stop Fraying (if you want to play it safe), then cut the burlap about a half inch from the cork.
• Center the burlap on the back of the window the staple it on making sure the fabric it pulled fairly snug.
• Center the cork on top of the burlap, fold the burlap over the edge of the cork and staple

Phase Three:

• Search your home for your favorite little collectibles and pictures!

What I used…

• A page from a vintage bird guide book.
• Rustic little wooden and metal bird.
• Vintage door plate.
• Vintage skeleton key.
• Vintage printer's letters to spell out our last name.
• Small frame with one of our engagement pictures.

Note: To hang the page and key I used aluminum cut tacks (#3 x 3/8") that I found at Lowes. The hooks, roll of cork and burlap I found at Hobby Lobby.
