DECORATING WITH PHOTOS: VINYL FRAMES

Frames don’t have to be made of wood or metal to be fabulous, and here’s proof!

Lots of Moms are completely overwhelmed by how many photos they have.  On hard drives, in boxes, in those sleeves from the photo lab, stuffed into albums and drawers and…on other hard drives.  Let’s go about about displaying the photos in a simple, sleek way.

First, grab a three-year-old (or child of your choice) and some photos.  A few 4×6’s, 2 5×7’s, and an 8×10.  Buy a StickR kit from Butch and Harold.  It’s $19.95 for the set shown, which is available online.  It arrives in super sleek, ultra thin packaging that looks more like an envelope than a bundle of frames!

Peel, stick the vinyl frames, and repeat as often as you’d like.

These frames are fun, bold, paint-friendly, and perfect for kids’ rooms.

Those pictures Julia takes of her dolls, her pets, and her shoes? Display them!

The photos from camp that make your heart melt? Pop a few onto the refrigerator.

Snapshots of the latest family vacation? Stick a few of these vinyl lovelies to the inside of your kitchen cabinets for an ambush of happiness.

decorating-with-photos-003A worksheet with mini-stickers of the frames comes for visualizing your creation, too.  It was fun to play with the stickers, but I tried to be a bit more random and let the frames fall where they may.  These bad boys reposition quite well.  They leave no residue behind yet remain sticky enough to stay on the wall.

decorating-with-photos-004Be sure to thank any helpers for their assistance with your new home decor, and you’re done.

decorating-with-photos-001My job as a Philadelphia children’s photographer involves many activities.  One of them is keeping Moms sane and decluttered whenever I possibly can — hope this helps!

Crystal - I just bought these a couple weeks ago from Photojojo and stuck them on the wall in my office (day job). They’re adorable! I filled them with pictures of different flowers I snapped.
