A twine bulletin board

For the latest installment of "Stuff I made with stuff I had", I bring you a twine bulletin board.

I had been helping N-son clean out a rather messy situation, and decided it was time to retire a painting that one of his older sisters had given him more than a decade ago.   It was one of those canvas things stretched across a wooden frame, the kind you can buy in any art store or craft store, and in N-son's case, the canvas had acquired punch holes and rips.  

So, I removed the canvas from the frame with my staple remover.  I stuck the frame in a corner for a few weeks pondering what to do with it, hoping that a useful inspiration would strike.   

Eventually, inspiration did strike, and so I grabbed my beloved cordless drill, and made holes in the frame every 1.5 inches.  I had happened to have a large spool of garden (?) twine that had been sitting in my "useful junk" box for years.   I threaded that twine through the holes, doing my best to keep things tight, and . . . 

. . . Voila!  I have a bulletin board that complements my brick wall really nicely.  (Instead of push pins, I use binder clips).
