Creative DIY Ways to Display Your Photos

August 9, 2017 · Nate Kay

Your photos don’t have to sit on your computer or behind an expensive frame, as there are so many cool and DIY ways to display images. Putting some creative thought into how you hang your pictures throughout your living space highlights great memories and photography in a unique way.

We all love taking photos, so grab some friends and personalize your space with your very own art. The DIY display options are endless, it just takes a little bit of creativity. Here are a couple of ideas to help inspire you.

Coasters

These coasters are a simple and fun way to show off your photos, be crafty, and leave your coffee tables spotless. Every time you lift your glass you will be reminded of the great memory that’s printed on your coaster. Cheers to your personalized drink coasters!
