Back then, I always wanted to have a store of my own so I can design window displays. I don’t know why, I just love looking at them, and somehow, it became one source of my inspiration.. So, since I had my dainty studio, I’ve been making an easy DIY window display. I thought I’d share this one with you. But first… please, please bare with my tiny hands and nails, hahaha. This is the first time I did a DIY with my actual hands on it, forced by my photographer of course, Heintje {hahaha… thanks for helping me with this one ahia}.

Anyhoo, I thought I’ll make something useful from my remaining 2011 calendar that hasn’t been sold since I can’t sell them anymore for next year.

Here are the materials you’ll need:

• Recycled Photos (4x6in. or if you have old calendars better}. You’ll be needing at least 36 photos, depends on your window length. I used 6-7 photos per set.

• Cutting mat

• Scissors

• Cutter

• Bus ticket puncher {I bought mine in our local bookstore - National Bookstore}

• Ruler

• Ribbon or Crochet yarn

Instructions:

1. Cut the photo from the calendar. Make sure to use cutting mat, so no table will be damaged after, and a sharp cutter blade, for better cutting.

2. Use a bus ticket puncher or the smallest round puncher. I suggest a small puncher so the holes won’t be visible from afar.

3. Insert the yarn starting from the back of the photo and roll it twice.

4. Then pull the yarn from the back and insert it at the bottom hole this time. Don’t twine the yarn from the top, it should be lose and can be pulled easily.

5. Do the same thing on the next photos. I used 6 photos per line. You can vary the height of the photos too.

6. On your last photo, tie a knot at the bottom, to lock the yarn. Then same procedure on the next set.

7. Once you’ve completed all your set, tie them each on a ribbon. The ribbon will be based on your window width. Hang both ends of the ribbon on the top of your window and align your photos accordingly…

And viola! A simple DIY hanging photos for your window display. I did a different style last year, instead of photos, I used circles. We had a printable Summer flowers too, in case you might wanna check them out.
