DIY Photo Wall

Are you looking for an easy way to display your family photos? I have an easy and inexpensive solution for you! You can make this project in a weekend. The good news - you can easily change the photos as your family "grows".

 List of materials:

• 1/4" plywood (the least expensive works well)
• 220 grit sandpaper
• Stain (I used dark walnut) see below
• bulldog clips​
• sawtooth hangers
• Your favorite photos printed on single weight mat board

Tools needed:

• Table saw (if you don't have one, have Lowes, Home Depot, or your hardware store cut the plywood for you. Be sure to have your sizes ready.)
• Rags for the stain
• Screwdriver 

​Start by selecting the photos you want to display and the layout. Try to pick colors and subjects that compliment each other. You could also print them in black and white. The sizes I chose were (1) 20"x24" and (4) 12"x12". You can order prints with this link: single-weight mat board

Next have your boards cut 2" wider and 2" longer than your photo sizes. Sand them really well with sandpaper. Wipe the dust off and then stain them. After they have dried, screw your bulldog clips to the top of each board, evenly spaced. Then attach sawtooth hangers to the back.

Now you are ready to attach your photos with the bulldog clips and hang them on the wall. Stand back and enjoy!

Below is a video of the entire process.
