Chicken Wire Window


I've been wanting a way to display my polaroids and have an excuse to use my camera more often and thought this was the perfect way! I'm totally thinking of making another one on a larger scale for our living room also. 


I picked up this window for $5 a couple years ago and just knew I'd have a good use for it, fast forward a couple years and I finally found a use for it...😉.


I had previously gone over it with a cheap can of white spray paint, it had gotten a little dirty from sitting in storage so I went over it with a scotch brite pad to clean it up. 



Now there may be a easier/ more efficient way to do this...but this way worked well for me!


I placed the chicken wire over the window and figured out the placement. 



I used this Stanley staple gun and staples to attach the chicken wire to the window. 



I made sure to staple in areas that won't come undone when I cut the rest of the wire off.



I used these wire cutters to remove the unwanted chicken wire. 



There is no special way I removed it, I just made sure the staples would still hold it.



I attached one of these to the back to hang. 





I found these mini clothespins at Walmart to attach the pictures to the chicken wire. 


And the finished product! I love the way this turned out, I have it hanging on the wall in my dinning room so its the first thing you see when you walk in our back door. Its so fun to see these memories and super easy to switch out when we take new photos.

Instant Pot Hamburger Helper

Instant Pot Hamburger Helper To get started you're going to turn your instant pot to the sauce feature. When it shows "Hot" on the display you're ready to add your olive oil and hamburger. Throw in all of your seasonings and brown the hamburger. Once its browned, add the noodles and more seasonings. Then add the two cans of beef broth and try to push all the ingredients down so there's not too much sitting on the surface. Then set the instant pot to cook for 8 minutes and do a quick release. Add in your milk, cheese, and party dip or sour cream if you have it. Turn it back onto sauté and stir everything together until it's melted. And serve! I don't know about you guys...but in our opinion you can't have hamburger helper without some bread and butter to go along with it😉. Ingredients: 1lb hamburger 8 oz elbow noodles 2 14 oz cans beef broth  1/2 - 1 cup milk  8 oz shredded ch...
