How do I present this!?

Question

I'm making a thing for my sisters 18th its going to be the number 18 made of all the pictures of her growing up. Buthow the h**l do I present it! I really need to know how I can make it something she can treasure like as her main gift not just a stupid piece of paper with it stuck on. Im not good with crafting stuff!

Answer 1

get a large picture frame. put an interesting paper over the heavy cardboard in it, or paint it.

draw the outline of your number lightly with chalk.

Now start laying the pics on the outline in collage fashion til you get them like you want.

Use only non acid papers and glue in this, glue the pictures on and put the whole thing under the glass in the frame and secure it.

You can add some small decorations to the frame, such as charms and other mementos. can use any sort of glue here like super glue.

enjoy this experiment and learn some new techniques. This is a part of scrapbooking techniques.

Answer 2

If you go to Snapfish.com, they can take your pics and put it into a collage for you.

There are various size selections. I made one of my niece that i gave to my sister. She loved it!

And, it's not too expensive. The only other thing you need to get is a frame to go with it.

Hope that helps!! and good luck!

Answer 3

You can get one of those push pin boards, make your collage on cardboard paper, cut it out and pin it to the board or glue it to the board itself.

You can use more pictures or cute kechains to make a border or decorate the board.

That way, she can hang it in her room or college dorm and whenever she puts up a reminder or new pictures, she'll be reminded of you and the present you gave her.

You can buy a push pin board at wal-mart for around 8 bucks and push pins for 2 bucks.
