Cut four pieces of string, two at 10 inches and two at 14 inches, to hang photos. To hang the photos, screw eye hooks into the top of picture frames. These will serve as the guides which act as picture frame, string and bobber holders. Slide the figure eights onto the pole and twist the center so they are tight on the pole. Using pliers bend the five strips of ⅛-inch thick metal wire into figure eights. To attach the picture frames and “fishing line” you will need to add guides to the pole. Once positioned where you'd like, fill the empty space in the drill hole with wood glue. Then slide “the reel” onto the thick wire. Next, lay the handle and wire on a flat surface. Take an end of the 36 inches of ⅜-inch thick metal wire and insert it into the hole drilled in “the handle.” It should be a tight fit. Once the handle and reel are crafted, combine with the thicker wire to make the fishing pole. To do so, drill completely through the one inch wide face of the cylinder. Using the ¼ inch drill bit on the same cylinder, make a hole for the wire to pass through. To make the spool, use a ¼-inch drill bit to drill eight equidistant holes through the shorter, wider cylinder near the outer edge.
You can find pre-made wooden cylinders at craft stores or if you'd like you can make them yourself.įor the fishing pole handle, use the drill to make a hole using a ⅜-inch bit in the center of the 1-inch face of the long wooden cylinder. Start by making the handle and spool of the fishing pole using a drill.
Wooden cylinder approximately 4 inches long, 1 inch wide.Wooden cylinder approximately 1 inch thick, 3 inches wide.Five 1½ inch strips of ⅛ inch thick metal wire.This do-it-yourself picture frame is a fun project for anyone with an appreciation for fishing and a few minutes to spare. Looking for a gift for a fisherman? Do you have open space to fill? Do you just love doing crafts?
