About

My friend Steve had the nervous habit of cutting out photos of people and standing them up on his desk. It was the strangest thing I’d ever seen but I loved it so much I asked to borrow the idea. I think it’s a great way to show off your photos in a very different way. I like being surrounded by a crowd when I’m at my desk. I also like to think about my family and friends and see their smiling faces. It just makes me feel great.

SUGGESTION: Do the photos on your computer!

You Will Need (5 things)

  • Glue Stick
  • Light Cardboard from an express mail envelope
  • Scissors
  • Craft Cutting Knife
  • 3x5 printed out Photograph(s) of your friends and family

Steps (6 steps, 20 minutes)

  1. 1

    HERE’S HOW:
    Cut out your photos in any way that you like depending on the photo. I like to take out the background and just leaf the face and upper body.

  2. 2

    Cut out a rectangle that is about 3” by 1 1/2 inches

  3. 3

    Score a line lengthwise down the cardboard about 1/2 inch from the edge and bend it

  4. 4

    Glue the 1/2 inch part to the back of the photo with the glue stick

  5. 5

    Leave about 1/8” between the bottom of the photo and the bottom of the rectangle so that it leans back at a very slight angle

  6. 6

    Make a bundle of these and see how your day improves
