I love going to the Long Beach Antique Swap Meet. I try to go a few times a year with my family. You could walk around for hours and still miss a ton of cool stuff. You can find retro furniture, vintage toys and clothing, and antique jewelry to name a few. I found these beautiful glass door knobs for a great deal. I wasn’t sure what I was going to do with them, but after some contemplating, I ended up making a repurposed vintage door knob photo holder.
This is a one step process that takes about 24 hours of dry time. You can get the tutorial over at MyPrintly.
Here is a quick video tutorial I made:
This little repurposed photo display is perfect for holding small photos like Sprocket photos. You can also use it to hold memos on a desk, as place card holders at the dinner table while entertaining, or to hold food labels or signs at a party or wedding.
The possibilities are endless!

Vintage door knobs are so beautiful. There are two ot three in my granny’s house that are just staing in one of the kitchen drawers for years… My mother couldn’t throw them just like that. I think she’ll be very glad to repurpose them this way. Thank you for the clever idea 🙂
I agree! Thank you, Stephanie and you are welcome! I’m so glad you like the idea.
Really loved it! And so did my mother – she made one photo display on saturday, and it looks great 🙂
I’m totally going to steal this idea to hold postcard sized signs in our showroom!
Steal away! That’s a great idea!
