DIY Wood Photo Holder for Grandparents

Grandparents day is coming soon and what the heck do you get the grandparents? I mean, they usually have everything. I created this fun and easy to make wood photo holder that has a rustic feel that you can use as a gift for the grandparent! I gave this one to my mom for her birthday actually. I used a Basswood Country Slab from Walnut Hollow to create this DIY photo holder for grandparents – it's super easy!

    CLEVER photo holder, not too large & UNIQUE. Love the half slice of tree with natural bark used for the sturdy base as well as the heart-shaped wire photo holders. Also can easily change photos also. THANKS for sharing.
