Christmas provides so many opportunities to capture special memories of your family, but also to turn those photos into something equally special.
The photos don’t necessarily have to be Christmas related, nor a professional shot. It can be any photo that you love, including snapshots or photos the kids have taken themselves.
An obvious craft idea would be creating a photo Christmas card for grandparents and other close relatives. Some blank cards, or cardboard cut to size and folded, with the image stuck to the front is perfect. Add some Christmas stickers, or glue on some tinsel and stars and it’s ready to send.
Photo crafts can also make fantastic gifts. Have a photo enlarged to A4 size, or create a photo collage on A4 paper and laminate it for use as a place mat or play mat.
Cutting photos into Christmas themed shapes, such as trees or stars, make unique tree decorations. Laminate the photo, punch a hole in the top and thread through some ribbon or gold string to form a loop.
Creating photo collages, or even single photos on coloured paper cut into star, Christmas tree, candy cane or snowflake shapes can be hung on walls or from the ceiling, or even turned into a festive mobile.
A gorgeous, keepsake wreath for your front door can be produced, either by surrounding your favourite photo with tinsel, holly, berries and stars, or creating the circle of the wreath using a collection of your favourite snapshots from throughout the year.
Enjoy and Merry Christmas!
