Your online photo galleries are overflowing with images that you have been taking over the years. Sure you open up the files and look at them from time to time and maybe even print some. But there are some fun crafts that you and your kids can do using these pictures!
Picture Puzzles
Let your kids pick out some of their favorite pictures and print them out in a large size. Place the picture onto a hard object like cardboard or even an old cereal box. Then cut out the shapes into a puzzle. Kids will have a blast putting the picture back together!
Family Coloring Book
Take some of your favorite pictures and resize them to a sheet of paper. Adjust the balance so that it displays as a sketch. You can do this on most photo editing programs. Print and color!
Magnets
Magnets are quick and easy to make. Simply purchase heavy duty magnets and hot glue. Select the images that you like and adjust the size. You will likely need to back them with something sturdy before cutting them out – like cardboard. Glue magnet to the back and you’ve got unique magnets!
Calendars
Every year you might sink a big chunk of money into a new wall calendar. Use your own images to make them this year. This also makes a great gift. Pick a different picture for each month and have them printed at a copy shop or through an online company. You’ll typically be able to do this for less than purchasing a calendar and if you order several get a discount too.
So don’t let those web photo albums sit full of unused images! There are plenty of ways to make use of your pictures. Plus, you’ll enjoy them much more when you can see them
