6. Use as a dry erase board.

For this piece I’m using it as a thankful board. Everyone can write messages on the board of things they’re grateful for. When you’re ready you can erase the words and start over. You could also use this as a list, reminder, or welcome board that is reusable.

7. For the other board, I placed a clear command hook onto the picture frame glass underneath the galvanized word.

8. Place a wreath on the hook on the picture frame.

The great thing about this hack is that you can change up the wreath every season.

I love how this art turned out!
