DIY Post Card Display | Modern Travel Photo Display





Step 1: Collect your supplies. You’ll need 4- 4’ wood dowels, 12 wire hangers, floral twine, spray paint, jute twine, pliers and a tape measure.

Step 2: To start making the post card style photo display, you will need to straighten out all of your hangers.
Step 3: Start making 90˚ bends following the picture examples below.

Bend 1: Find the center of the hanger, and make 2- 90˚ bends measuring 3 inches from bend to bend. Bend 2: Lining your pliers up parallel with the first bend, make another 90˚ bend straight up, on both sides. Bend 3: Measure 4.5 inches up on both sides, and make 90˚ bends, bending away from the center. Bend 4: Lay the frame with the first bends pointing up. Measure a hair over 1 inch to make the bend. Using a 5 x 7 photo will help you decide where the bend should be. Bend both sides at a 90˚ angle with the ends pointing up (the same direction as the bottom lip. Bend 5: Line your pliers up with the bend from #4 and bend a 90˚ angle on both sides, enclosing the fame. Bend 6: Wrap each end and the center with floral wire’ to secure.

Step 4: Once each frame is complete, you will want to take them outside, a long with your wood dowels to spray paint. We chose black, but I think a neon color would look great, too!
Step 5: After the dowels and frames are dry, it’s time to attach everything. We placed all the frames on the floor and used 5 x 7 photo’s to help guide the spacing. 6 frames fit onto a 4’ dowel. Once you have everything evenly spaced, use twine, I used jute, to secure each frame onto the wood dowels- 2 knots on top, 2 knots on bottom.


Step 6: Add pictures!
And then you’re done! You can lean the display against a wall, or secure directly onto a wall. Be sure to add several photos into each slot, so visitors and pick up a stack and flip through your vacation memories. Try adding some inspirational prints or colorful greeting cards to your display, too.
