Timeline Picture Collage

A Neat and Pretty Way to Organize a Timeline

I made this as a gift. It displays Christmas photos of my sister and I over the years. You can do this for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, etc. It works best if you have a photo of the same people every year. I had a tough time finding ALL the photos, but don't worry, you'll find it if you just believe. :) Anyway, I very pleased with the outcome of this project. Yes, frames are expensive to buy, but I think it adds a professional look to it.

I made this as a gift. It displays Christmas photos of my sister and I over the years.

Instructions

  1. Small woodframescollection 1294034003

    Buy a frame. Make sure it has one of those shiny pieces of paper inside.

  2. Small dscn7300 1294034116

    Turn that piece of paper over and start organizing your photos in chronological order across your frame. Make sure to leave space. I cropped a lot of my photos so I would have equal space between each photo.

  3. Small gluegun 1294034301

    Glue your photos down. I used a glue gun.

  4. Small dscn7301 1294034212

    Cut out your colored paper into rectangles and stamp, punch, or write the dates of the photos on those tiny cards.

  5. Small photoframe2 1294034318

    Now glue your cards above, below, or around the designated photo.

  6. Small photofinish 1294034449

    Put your collage in the frame.

  7. Small marshmallows 1294034579

    Now pop a marshmallow in the microwave for 10 seconds and watch what happens. Feel free to chomp on it when you're done observing. :)
