Create a personal photo series for your home

Instead of a wooden picture frame, you use a wooden plate on which you attach your pictures - a rustic decoration for empty walls. Nature, people, animals - which theme would you like to pick up for your decoration?

• a wooden plate
• five or more Pixum photo prints, depending on the length of the wooden panel
• two hooks to screw in as hangers
• crafting utensils (scissors, glue or glue pads, pencil)

1. Select at least five photos that you would like to use and order them as photo prints. The photos should fit together thematically - whether it be shots of the landscape in the mountains or motifs from a holiday by the sea.
2. Arrange the photos in the desired order.
3. Different formats or different perspectives make the design more exciting - alternate images in portrait and landscape format or crop individual images.
4. The wood should be clean and dry - you can also paint it to make the photo wall even more elegant.
5. Stick the photos onto the wooden strip using the adhesive pads.
6. To hang up your finished photo series, use two hooks. Done!

Create a decorative branch with a few tools. We recommend using black and white pictures as well as retro prints.

• wooden branch, e.g. a birch trunk
• angle grinder
• saw
• your favourite photos as retro prints
• some olive oil

For this idea, the branch must well dried. Store the branch in a dark, dry, but not too warm place. Once the natural product is completely dry, you can rub it with a little olive oil to prevent it from cracking later.

1. Using the saw, shorten the branch to the desired length. Keep in mind how many photos you want to place on it.
2. Cut several slits in one side with the angle grinder. The slits must be long enough for your pictures to fit in. A depth of just under a centimetre is sufficient.
3. Decorate the branch wiith your selected pictures. If they are not stable, deepen the slots a little.

An inexpensive way to display your images on the wall in a collage style that takes little time is to use a cord or string to present them.

This is how you can create a photo spread:

1. Hammer two nails into the wall and attach a cord to both ends.
2. Leave the cord hanging a little or tighten it - depending on how you low or high you want to set your photos.
3. Use simple decorative clips that differ in shape and colour and attach your snapshots.

Great ideas don't have to be complicated - whether as a window decoration or to decorate your walls, simply use a string of lights:

1. Put nails in the wall and hang up the fairy lights. Make sure you don't pull them too tight to avoid cable breakage.
2. Hang your photos with clips or staples between the lights.
3. Done!

You can of course use the same idea in any other place - for example, clip your photos to a chain of lights under a shelf, to a lamp or even to a Christmas tree.
