Add a personal touch to your holiday decorating with this festive DIY Christmas photo display created for Clear Scraps! Combining classic Christmas colors, holiday patterns, and a favorite Christmas memory, this project makes a wonderful addition to your seasonal home decor.
Creating the Christmas Photo Display
To begin, I chose patterned papers from my stash to cover the frame and Christmas tree. Each piece was traced onto the papers, cut out and adhered with Mod Podge. I added color to the tree tunic with an alcohol marker.
I painted the 2 base pieces and Christmas word with acrylic paint. Paint was also added to the lower portion of the frame back piece.
The 2 base pieces were adhered together with wood glue.
I adhered my photo to the frame back and glued the frame onto.
A decorative Dazzles sticker border was added around the frame opening and the tree had Dazzles sticker added as well. A dimensional holly with berries sticker was added to the Christmas word.
Finally, I arranged the pieces on the layered red and black base, creating a freestanding display that looks wonderful on a mantel, shelf, or holiday table.
A Handmade Decoration Filled with Memories
What makes this project especially meaningful is the photograph at its center. Incorporating a favorite holiday photo turns a decorative piece into a treasured keepsake that can be enjoyed year after year.
This project is also a great way to coordinate patterned papers, dimensional embellishments, and bold lettering to create a personalized Christmas decoration. You can easily customize the colors, papers, and photograph to match your own holiday decor.
Whether you create one for your home or make one as a handmade Christmas gift, this festive photo display is a wonderful way to celebrate the season and preserve special memories.
Until next time-
