Chicken Wire Memo Board

I purchased a bunch of old windows when a nearby thrift shop went out of business.   Wasn't sure why at the time, but figured I could do SOMETHING with them.  And here's what I did.  Knocked the glass out - carefully - and removed the interior aluminum frame.  Cleaned up the dirt and took an Orbital Hand Sander to the paint job to get off the flaking paint and grime.  I liked the look, so I didn't repaint the frame, but you certainly could do that.  I then stapled chicken wire to the back of the frame, as well as a piece of cording to hang the board.  Then I used regular clothes pins, hot glued a button to the front of each one and tied a small piece of country plaid fabric onto them.   This is the result.
