Keep your memories alive with these easy creations.
1 Decoupage a travel diary.
A blank journal can be transformed into a personalized book. Print out photos on white paper and lay them on top of the cover, overlapping and cutting out -images to come up with a creative design. Coat the surface with decoupage paste; press on photos. Let dry, then layer with more paste.
2 Create a photo garland.
Print out 60 photos on heavy paper stock. Stick the backs of two photos together, then slide the 30 pairs into plastic sleeves. Punch a hole on the right and left sides of each sleeve, loop hinged metal book rings through the holes, and connect the rings.
3 Make refrigerator magnets.
Place a clear glass pebble (it should have a flat back) over the area you want to highlight. Trace it with a pencil and carefully cut along the line. Affix the pebble with craft glue, then press a self-adhesive magnet to the back of your photo.
4 Cut out a silhouette.
Enlarge a full-profile photo of a loved one in action—say, skipping stones on a lake or jumping off a diving board. Place a sheet of parchment paper over the profile and trace the image. Affix the parchment to black card stock and follow the outline with an X-Acto knife, cutting through both layers. Attach the silhouette to white card stock with double-sided tape.
