I don't REALLY want to save the mice (sorry mouse lovers) but using the traps to hang pictures seems a bit kinder anyway.
A few drawer fronts from the ReStore and some mousetraps create a fun way to display photos or your children's artwork. I spaced the mousetraps so that you can hang pieces as large as 8X10 as seen here. (These are prints I created for my son's apartment since he loves Billiards and Frisbee Golf)
A coat of flat, black paint was followed by using graphite paper to transfer the numbers onto the traps. I distressed them a little more after painting the numbers on.
These are refrigerator magnets. Tiny, high-powered magnets were attached to the backs using E-6000 glue.
I'll be selling all of these at an upcoming show I'm doing. I think they'd make great stocking stuffers too, don't you?
Love the #4 one! Cute idea!
ReplyDeleteI have heard of some interesting re-purposing, but this has got to be the most interesting. Lucky mice that you want their traps for something else.
ReplyDeleteNow that's a cool idea. I love the paint treatment too.
