Our family had professional photos taken. Now, what to do with them?! Besides the obvious idea of hanging them on the wall, what other creative ideas do you have?
Have you ever seen photos that have been printed onto fabric and made into a wall hanging? My mom's friend had them done on a muslin cloth and they are beautiful!
Try a painters canvas they come in many sizes and can be painted to fit any color scheme or design......It is kind of like a big scrapbook page and you can make it as nice or as casual as you want, as plain or as much schtuff on it as you want or need.
Paint a canvas sides and front any color....I like mine lightly painted so that is looks a little streaked with color but paint it however you wish. I just use acryllic paint...crafters paint. depending on how much you apply will depend on how much you need.. I usually get 2 bottles.. let dry. arrange pictures on the canvas with a good paper glue or a really tacky tape. glue tape your embellishments and there you go...I have given several as gifts and have my newest hanging in the hallway "gallery"....also another neat idea is to use an old wood window to show the pics...put them in seperate frames inside this. If it still has the glass adhere the pictures to the glass probable on the wall side of it. I have an 8 pane window that I am getting ready to do this with. Cost $20 at a antique store. Cheaper than seperate frames....You can also put poems or some sort of rub on letters on the panes also. questions let me know..
I have massive amounts of countertops in my kitchen. I display some in there. There are places on my countertops that are never touched. I have more on the entry way table. I also did some modern shelving in some places and put them there. I am working on a modern collage set up in a hallway. I think if they are placed right, with the right frames they look great, kinda like art rather than lining them up all boring like. Have fun!
I put them on Facebook and email them to myself. If I have digital copies than I dont have to worry about grabbing the family photo album in a fire. And I dont have to send copies to all my relatives becasue they are available online.
Make a digital book with them.
