DIY Polaroid Display

This simple DIY Polaroid Display is an easy family photo display.

These type of displays are pretty popular these days. I thought I'd put my own spin on it using faux Polaroids {or, hey, let's call them fauxlaroids to be cute, shall we?}. Wink.


If I use a typical bulletin board display, I tend to crowd them and it always looks messy. I decided to keep a bit of consistency by giving them the fauxlaroid touch and only using photos. 


I used an old frame that I'd had in the closet since I redid the kitchen this past summer. I took simple black and white baker's twine and strung it across in five rows. I decided to use small screws instead of staples. It helps prevent the twine from pulling out when it has the added weight of the photos on it. Just tie off a loop a bit smaller than the screw head, predrill your holes to prevent splitting the wood and then drill in the screw. 


Then I hung the frame onto my {very strange & narrow} fifth wall in my office. 

I created my simple fauxlaroids in Photoshop Elements 11. I made them a bit of a cream color and added some texture on top {at an opacity of 88%}. I laid a square image on top and then added the inner shadow to the actual photo.

I added a caption to each photo in a typewriter font. I can recall my parents using an old typewriter to add captions to old  Polaroids back in the day.


I printed them onto plain white card stock.

Then I used mini clothespins to put them up.
{Aren't mini clothespins the cutest?}


I hung a vintage family photo above {the little girl in this photo is my maternal grandmother}.

Stop by my Decorating with Pictures post that I worked on for Kristen Duke's blog. I've showed several fun photo banners and printables to create your own.

  4. 1 Problem: HP Printer not connecting to my laptop.
    I had an issue while connecting my 2 year old HP printer to my brother's laptop that I had borrowed for starting my own business. I used a quick google search to fix the problem but that did not help me.
    I then decided to get professional help to solve my problem. After having received many quotations from various companies, i decided to go ahead with Online Tech Repair (www.onlinetechrepairs.com).
    Reasons I chose them over the others:
    1) They were extremely friendly and patient with me during my initial discussions and responded promptly to my request.
    2) Their prices were extremely reasonable.
    3) They were ready and willing to walk me through the entire process step by step and were on call with me till i got it fixed.
    How did they do it
    1) They first asked me to state my problem clearly and asked me a few questions. This was done to detect any physical connectivity issues with the printer.
    2) After having answered this, they confirmed that the printer and the laptop were functioning correctly.
    3) They then, asked me if they could access my laptop remotely to troubleshoot the problem and fix it. I agreed.
    4) One of the tech support executives accessed my laptop and started troubleshooting.
    5) I sat back and watched as the tech support executive was navigating my laptop to spot the issue. The issue was fixed.
    6) I was told that it was due to an older version of the driver that had been installed.

    My Experience
    I loved the entire friendly conversation that took place with them. They understood my needs clearly and acted upon the solution immediately. Being a technical noob, i sometimes find it difficult to communicate with tech support teams. It was a very different experience with the guys at Online Tech Repairs. You can check out their website www.onlinetechrepairs.com or call them on 1-914-613-3786.
    Would definitely recommend this service to anyone who needs help fixing their computers.
    Thanks a ton guys. Great Job....!!
