I recently made these picture picks for my mom's 50th birthday party. I highly recommend crafting some up for the next shindig you are attending/planning/crashing. People love looking at old pictures. People also love food. Put the two together and have your guests eating and reminiscing for as long as it takes them to plate up a few crab cakes and crudites. I chose the least embarrassing photos of my mom throughout the years. If you are mean to your loved ones, I recommend using a smattering of the most hideous, fugly, completely and utterly mortifying pictures you can get your hands on.
The best part is that the project takes less than a hour and uses products you most likely already have. Free and quick?! This is my kind of project.
Tools:
- some old photos
- scissors
- cardstock
- glue, I used hot glue, could also use any glue suitable for paper
- toothpicks
1. scan the photos
2. using a photo editing software, crop to any size you want. Mine were about 1.5" x 3".
3. print out on cardstock
4. cut out with scissors
5. place the cardstock photo face down, add a small drop of glue, place the toothpick in glue
6. when the glue is dry, stick into anything! like cupcakes! or carrot sticks! or chicken wings!
If you don't have accessibility to a scanner or photo editing software, another method is to use a color copier on regular paper.
