Step 1: Pick your pictures
|
Find old pictures of your relatives that feature compelling themes such as an expressions or traits, setting or occasions. Think of a smile that runs in the family, a
wedding, a graduation, or other memorable time. Next, look for similar themes in pictures of the next generation, and so on...up until the present day.

Step 2: Edit and print photos
|
Scan the older photo prints, slides or negatives so that you can print copies of your photos at the same size on glossy, heavy-duty HP brochure paper.
Some HP Photosmart printers, such as the
HP Photosmart Premium Fax All-in-One Printer, Scanner, Fax, Copier,
let you edit and improve images, fix red-eye, add color effects, and more using your printer's touchscreen.

Step 3: Clip your photos up
|
Press clear pushpins in your wall in a pleasing line or pattern–or try stringing a line of strong wire. Then clip the photos with metal binder clips, and hook the
handles onto the pushpins or the line. (Inexpensive binder clips give the art display a retro yet modern look.) You can also mount your photos on black cardstock, large enough
so that the cardstock "frames" your photos.
