Fishing Pole Photo Display

Over the summer months we completed a really fun project at our family cabin - a fishing pole photo display showcasing the Miller side (my mom's side) of our family.

Here's what you'll need:
  • Two heavy duty screws
  • Power drill
  • Long fishing pole (I recommend a vintage style)
  • Fishing line
  • Fishing lures of different types
  • Clear photo frames
  • Thin poster mounting squares
  • Photos of your choice

We started by marking out where we wanted to secure the pole on the wall. We used one screw between the handle and reel, and one screw at the tip of the pole after determining how far we wanted the pole to bend above the doorway. 

From there, we added fishing line by tying it to the loops located on the pole itself. We cut the lines to various lengths depending on where we wanted the fishing lures and photo frames to fall.
​
Once the line was in place, we started attaching the fishing lures and photo frames. The fishing lures have small hooks that pop out of the top, so we were able to easily secure them to the lines. To make sure the photo frames stayed on the line, we placed one thin poster mounting square on the back of each photo - pinching the fishing line between the mounting square and the back of the frame - so they dangle freely vs. being stuck to the wall. 

Here are some close ups of this project:

And here's my cute grandma with the finished project. We have her to thank for so many good memories at the cabin!
