In this article we will describe some DIY ideas for the best photo frames you can do to decorate your interior with your favorite pictures. We all have some favorite photos, we want to watch every day. They may be a nice wall decoration or simply a wonderful memory of great holidays or nice sunny evening with our family. Who needs a typical gallery wall when there are so many other ways to creatively display your favorite pictures?

1. You can use your working space and arrange the wall over your desk into a place that will make you smile every day. You don't need much to do it- just a piece of string or a ribbon and some small nails. Use clothespins to attach your photos, maybe some note cards that have funny things our kids have written on them :) Maybe you have some small souvenirs from your summer trip, that you want to hang there too :)
