Maybe it's because I am graduating college and feeling nostalgic about memories in general, but I have really been interested in taking pictures lately and learning fun ways to display them! I have always loved pictures whether they be old family pictures (I have a wall of old black and white family pictures in my room at home), pictures from when I was a kid, or really recent ones. So for my article this week, I was inspired by Pinterest (of course) to write about some creative ways to display pictures. All of the ideas I've listed below were found on Pinterest so I want to give them the credit! I hope you find some ways to display pictures that you want to try! Thanks for reading and have fun with these ideas!
6 Ways to Creatively Display Pictures:
1. Tree with string lights
I've seen this done a couple of times and I LOVE it! I chose this picture because I like that they used Polaroid pictures. You can make this really easy and just get a tree branch from outside and wrap string lights around it ,or you can buy a pre-light tree branch like the ones they sell at Kohl's or Target. Have fun with it!
2. Vintage hand mirror picture frames
I think this is such a great idea! I haven't done this myself yet but I love the idea of using vintage hand mirrors to display black and white photos. If you love antiquing or have a lot of old family photos, this is the display idea for you!
3. Large painted picture frame
I really like this one because it is easy and it is a cheap idea to display your pictures. If you have a spare picture frame laying around the house, you can paint it a fun color, buy some little clothes pins and hang some of your favorite pictures up in a fun and creative way. I think I'm going to do this one!
4. Mapping your pictures
I have a rolled up map sitting in my closet waiting for me to do this with all of my pictures. I haven't traveled a lot yet but, that is one of my life goals! I would love to display my pictures from my adventures this way. If you are a world traveler and have a ton of pictures from your travels, this is the creative way to display pictures for you!
5. The tree branch display
I really like this idea because it is simple and it turns your photos into a work of art. It you have a lot of tree branches in your backyard or like the idea of your pictures being turned to art, this is the idea for you!
6. Picture collages in the shapes of the places you've been
I really like this one because if there is a special place you travel to every year, this is a great way to honor your memories there! This is also great if you love traveling but haven't had the chance to go to many places yet. This way, you can honor the places you've been!
