8 Ways To Display Polaroid Pictures
Instant prints are great fun to take, but what do you do with the photo afterwards? Most pictures will get put away in a box and looked at occasionally, or when you remember them. Your instant prints deserve to be displayed beautifully in your home. But what are the best ways to display your photos? Discover 8 ways to display your instant picture prints.
Photo Wall Display
A popular way of displaying your polaroid photos is to stick them to your wall. You can keep it simple by sticking your photos on your wall in a random pattern, or you can get creative and use your prints to make a heart on your wall. The number of polaroid prints you display is up to you. Display as many or as few as you like. Use blue tack or glue dots to stick your photos to any wall in your home.
Top tip: Arrange your photos on a table or floor before sticking them to your wall. This allows you to finalise what your display will look like before committing to a pattern on your wall.
Pinboard/Cork Board
A cork board is an easy and creative way to display your retro style pictures. You have a blank canvas to display anything you like. You can pin almost anything on your board from photo prints and notes to inspirational quotes and artwork. The best thing about a pin board is how easy it is to change and rearrange your photos. Swap out your favourite prints by simply removing the push pin and pinning your new print. You can personalise your board by adding decorative elements like ribbons and various pin styles. The creative possibilities are endless.
Single Framed Photo
Pick your favourite polaroid photo and frame it in a picture frame. Choose a picture that means something to you and frame it in a frame style that suits the aesthetic of your home. Why not frame your print in a coloured picture frame to make a statement? Add a picture mount to help your retro print stand out. Not only will it look great in your home, but a frame will also help protect your print from dust and any potential damage. Framing your photo will also help your special memory become a focal point when displayed in your home.
String And Pegs
A fun way to display your instant prints is to hang them on some string. Clip your photos onto string or fairy lights using mini pegs to create a cosy display. This is perfect for creating a creative display in any room of your home. The best thing about this display is how easy it is to swap and change pictures. Simply unclip a print to change it, meaning you can create endless new displays of your favourite photos. You can use sites like Photobox to print more polaroid style photos when you want to swap out old pictures for new favourites.
Fridge Magnets
Turn your retro-style photo prints into fridge magnets to create a photo gallery on your fridge. All you need is some self-adhesive magnetic sheets or tape to stick to the back of your prints. Get creative with how you arrange your photo magnets or simply use them to stick important documents like appointments to your fridge. You can easily swap and change your polaroid magnets for new photos when you feel like a new display. They can also be used as thoughtful gifts for friends and family. Adding photo magnets to your fridge is a simple way to put a smile on your face every time you enter your kitchen!
Framed Photo Collage
Can’t pick a favourite print? Pick all your favourites and create a photo collage. Arrange your instant prints on a board, then stick them down once you are happy with the placement. This is so they don’t move out of place when framing. Then simply choose a picture frame style that suits the aesthetic of your home, and just like that, you’ve created a statement piece. Creating a framed photo collage is a great way to preserve and easily display your photos.
Laminated Bookmarks
This one’s for all the bookworms out there! Personalise your reading experience by laminating your retro style picture to turn it into a bookmark. You can laminate prints together to make a longer bookmark or just one photo for a smaller bookmark. Punch a hole in the top corner of your laminated print to add ribbon to complete your personalised bookmark. This would also make a unique gift for anyone who loves reading!
Montage Gallery Frame
Another way of displaying more than one photo is by creating a photo montage in a frame. Displaying multiple retro-style prints in one frame is a great way to create a unique centrepiece for your home. The best way to do this is to use a multi frame designer. A multi frame designer will allow you to create the perfect photo collage. Simply pick a frame you like and decide on the number of photos you want to display. A frame designer will do the rest of the work for you.
