Hello Shabby Art Boutique readers.
I am excited to be guest posting today while Kerryanne is busy, busy, busy, with her move and exciting new adventure! My name is Laura and I am the author of the design and lifestyle blog Elegant Nest. I enjoy sharing creative and inspiring ideas on my blog. . . from design and décor tips, to DIY projects.
Today I would like to share my DIY Memory keeper project. This quick and easy craft makes a great place to keep and display your favorite photos and keepsakes. Follow my step by step tutorial below to create your own!
While browsing Pinterest Sunday morning, I came across this simple wire memory keeper and decided to put down my coffee and make one for myself!
Just 3 supplies needed…
Some black wire – I used 20 gauge – a tape measure, and needle nose pliers/clippers.
Measure 4 lengths of wire – 36 inches each…
Divide the pieces, and start twisting 2 at a time around each other…
After a couple of inches of twist – make a loop with 2 of the wires…
Continue twisting…
After making your loops every couple of inches on alternating sides of your line, you will end up with this…
To make your hanger, twist 2 of the wires together…
Use your needle nose pliers to loop around and twist onto base. Then form the other two wires into your curly-Q’s…
For the bottom…use your needle nose pliers to make 4 curly-Q’s…
Ready to hang on the wall…
And fill with your favorite photos, ticket stubs, business cards, memories…
So simple and quick…my coffee didn’t even get cold! Gotta love a project like that!
Thank you Kerryanne for inviting me to share my project with your readers. I am looking forward to all the new and exciting news to come from Shabby Art Boutique and Woodberry Designs!

Isn’t it sweet Lynn. I’m making one, but may spray her white to match my décor.
Love it! Thanks for sharing.

I love it too Jann and can’t wait to make one myself!
