A fun and interesting idea could be to put together a bunch of photos of all family members and cut use them to make a customized wall clock. Instead of numbers from 1 to 12 you could use pictures. You can also involve everyone in the project so the clock can look appealing to everyone. This can be a makeover of an existing clock or a complete project which you can make from scratch.

Even though Instagram doesn’t require square pictures anymore, if you like the look you can create a customized display using square photos of family members arranged inside a large frame. It would be interesting to leave some room at the center for a decoration such as a monogram or perhaps a larger pictures of everyone. We found this lovely idea on fixthisbuildthat and we think it’s pretty great.

Another way of displaying square family photos can include a dew painted or stained wooden boards mounted vertically on a wall. You can have large clips attached to them so you can add or remove photos whenever you want. The photos don’t necessarily have to be arranged in a pattern. Just find a suitable way to mix and match them. Also, they don’t necessarily have to be square.

On themerrythought you can find a similar design idea. To create this display, you’ll need a few reclaimed wood boards, sandpaper, hangers and nails, a hammer and clips. Cut the wood to size if necessary and sand the boards. Attach sawtooth hangers on the back of the boards and then the clips to the front. You could also use thumbtacks instead of clips.

Hammer two nails in each boards and then attach a piece of string or cord creating a line from which to hang pictures using tiny clothespins or clips.

A photo wall can also be created without needing to use any picture frames. The photos can be displayed in a casual and simple fashion.

Repeat to make several picture rows.
