First things first. Jane of Mamie Jane's put together a unique photo display, please see her post: Repurposed Metal File Tool. I totally fell in love with her project. Below, my copycat of Jane's project.
I found a box of used files at an estate sale. Looked in my box of misc supplies and found a pack of round magnets. Couldn't find any old photos so went to Karen's Graphics Fairy blog and printed out a few different old portraits. Picked a few pieces of 2x4 out of my scrap file, (painted, waxed, sanded a bit the wood with Paris Grey and dry brushed Old White (Annie Sloan) and drilled a few holes). Pounded the handle end of the files into the wood. Added the pictures and magnet. Done deal.
See my original post on the file Photo Holders here.
