Whether your phone’s camera roll is filled with precious memories throughout the years or your digital camera is always by your side, people are taking more photos than ever. While it is nice to reflect on vacations, graduations, etc. on your favorite device, you may want to print out your photos and hang them up. With this week’s craft, we will show you how to put a creative spin on your photo display.

We also offer same-day shipping if you place your order by 3 PM EST, allowing you to start your project promptly. All other supplies can be purchased at your favorite craft store. 

 

Gather the following items: 

 

  • Patterned scrapbook paper
  • Disc magnets (1/4" x ⅛”)
  • Wood discs
  • Circle punch (Same dimensions as wood discs. We recommend 1.5” for both)
  • Tacky glue
  • Foam brush
  • Photographs
  • Paper towels
  • Thin rope

Steps

This is a great idea for an adult crafting class. Be sure to print off a variety of photographs before starting. Consider printing photos from one particular event and using scrapbook patterns that match the colors of the event! The world is truly your oyster with this project.

 

Follow these steps:

 

  • Gather all materials and sort out your photos.
  • Use your circle punch to create your circular scrapbook pieces. Be sure to make some out of all the patterns you bought!
  • Place some glue on your wooden discs. Use a foam brush to spread it out evenly and press a scrapbook piece down on one side of each. 
  • After allowing your scrapbook pieces to dry, flip over your wood discs. Glue one magnet to this side of all your wood pieces. If you have excess glue at any point, just wipe it away with a paper towel or rag.
  • If you would like, you can place some glue around your wood disc and place a thin rope around it to give it a more finished look!
  • Once everything is dried and set, use your new magnets to hang up photos of your favorite memories!
