My photography will be on display at an upcoming event, so I decided to get crafty and make a photo display.  I thought I’d share this tutorial so you can make one too!  I’d love for you to send me a picture of how yours turns out!

Supplies needed:

1. Pegboard.  I got mine from Home Depot.

2. Spray Paint.  The color I chose was “Robin Egg” from Michaels.

3.  Christmas ornament hangers or paper clips.

4.  A push pin.

5.  All of your favorite photos.

6.  Scissors and yarn.

Now that you’ve got your supplies, let’s get started!

Step 1: Spray paint your pegboard and let it dry.

Step 2:  Take a long piece of yarn.  I chose hot pink because it really stands out against the turquoise pegboard.  Weave the yarn through the edges of your board.  It should look something like this:

Step 3: Take the push pin and poke holes in all of your pictures.  You will later put the ornament hooks or paper clips through those holes to hang your pictures.

Step 4: Make a nice layout for your photos.  In hindsight, I would have printed all my pictures out at the same size and orientation.  It would’ve been much easier to make a layout had I done that.

Step 5: Hang up all your photos.

Now if you’re feeling really crafty, there’s more you can add!  I made 2 of these photo displays and connected them with a banner I made. Fun, huh?!
