(428 Words)
Family photographs can be displayed in a variety of creative ways. These can make them stand out and be a great way to decorate your home.
Line the walls
One fun way is to take a room and literally line the walls with photographs. This might work great for a den or utility room. It may take a little time and a lot of photographs but you can look around and see hundreds of memories all in one place. How you attach them to the wall will depend on the surface of the wall and whether you want them easily removed but you might just tape them up or use a putty that is easily removable. You can also line furniture that you have as well.
Get a dressing screen
One elegant way to display your family photographs is to get a dressing screen that has room for them. This can be a beautiful addition to a room and serve a practical purpose. Some have room for smaller photographs whereas others have room for 8×10’s.
Make a shadowbox
You can get a shadowbox from a store such as Michael’s Arts and Crafts. You can then artfully arrange photographs. You can also put in little mementos or other objects. For instance, let’s say it is a photograph of your child when he was a baby holding his favorite little teddy bear. You can place the bear in the frame as well.
Put them on photo products
There are many different products that can be made with the family photographs. For instance, you can have an afghan made with the image of your family and drape that across the couch or hang it on the wall. It is big, stands out and can even have practical usage. Some might take the family photographs wherever they go by placing them on a bag or purse. You can get this done at www.snaptotes.com. Also, you can have one displayed at your fingertips in the form of a mouse pad. Beauty can meet functionality again when you put the family photographs on a mug. They also have coasters that have places for photographs, and these can be a lot of fun to use at parties. Some people will display them on them on themselves in a shirt or hat. You will find many different options at Personalization Mall and Personal Creations on the Internet.
There is no reason that you have to limit yourself to displaying family photographs in plain frames. Creative techniques like those above can turn them into works of art.
