Bottle-Cap Magnets and Thumbtacks
Clear resin is poured into the caps to seal the photos and give them an appealing glossy finish.
Recycled twist-off caps are better than conventional ones because they don’t bend when removed.

DIY Photo Letters: Spell Out Your Cheer
the crafter spells out the word love using large letters, then collages photos on the letter O. So cool and would work with many different words, including a teens name.

Photo Wall Hanging
From the blogger: “I never print my photos. Never. As much as I love taking them, I rarely go beyond having them exist anywhere other than on my phone or the blog. Oh, but you already see where this is going, yea? I had some printed out! For all that effort I put into snapping shots of my favorite places, things that inspire me, and moments I loved, it’s nice to have little mementos to actually look at IRL.”

Cityscape Photo Luminaries
From the creator: “These are so much fun to make and will be perfect to give your room a modern, urban feel with some light. We’re going to use our favorite Americana Decou-Page and Graphic Stock images to create these super simple luminaries! They would be great to give as a gift to a friend or family member you knew like the big city, and they really do transform a room! Check out this super simple tutorial step by step down below.”

LEGO Picture Puzzles
From the mom blogger: “This would work best if you take the pictures in the same location and you have the camera the same distance away from the child. Also, when you trim the photos to fit on the Duplos, make sure the child is centered. I didn’t do a perfect job of this, so they aren’t as cool as they could be…but we still have had fun with them!”
