 A simple project with a simple plan.

Project Description

Reason for project: I have several framed prints and various artworks that are just laying on the floor around the house. Also receiving 2 more in the mail soon.

Budget: $10

Items to buy: Maybe nails for hanging, but should have enough.

Tools/materials needed: All of the framed art, hammer, nails, newsprint, scissors, tape, camera, computer, lightroom

Timeline: 18 days, post due May 6th

Potential Issues
