DIY Washi Tape Frames

Corkboard

Magnetic Board

Clipboards

Display your photos on clipboards instead of frames for a personalized creative decor.

Felt Organizer

Hang a felt organizer on the wall and display your photos on it.

Shadow Box

Use a shadow box to create a 3D display with photos and small keepsakes.

Theme Box

Create themed shadow boxes, like a travel box with photos and souvenirs from a trip.

Vertical Photo Display

Polaroid Wall

Embroidery Hoop Display

Use embroidery hoops as frames and attach photos to the hoops with clips or string for a circular display.

Photo Calendar

Create a DIY photo calendar with a photo for each month. Change the photo as the months go by.

Make a desk calendar with a flip-style design to showcase different photos.

Wood board

Place pins and string on a wood board and hang photos with clothespins or clips.

Clothes Hangers

Use colorful clothes hangers to hang your favorite pictures and embellishments.

Hanging Frame

Use an empty picture frame and attach wire across it. Hang photos with clips on the strings. It is a very easy and low-cost DIY that needs only a few minutes to make it. You can put the wire in symmetrical rows, vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. Instead of soft decorative wire, you can also use a grid, chicken wire, iron mess, or just string.

Materials you can use:

a big wooden frame
soft decorative wire
nails and hammer
small wooden clothes pins
scissors

The process’s so easy. On the backside of the frame, I struck small nails into different points. Then, I tied the wire from one nail to the other in order to make many available lines. In the end, I placed photos from our travels and some tickets we collect, using small wooden clothespins to hang them. To tell you the truth, it was so simple and the result so beautiful that I’m really thinking about the next photo display for our bedroom as this one is hung on my home office wall!
