One of our boys recently turned 6 and we thought it would be fun to do a photo collage using some favorite photos from the past 5 years.
what you’ll need:
- 16″ square frame
- 3″ circle punch
- double sided tape
- 15 or 16 – 4×6 prints
- black cardstock and patterned paper (optional)
what you’ll do:
- punch a 3″ circle out of each of your photos
- lay all of your photos out. mine went in order from youngest to oldest.
- leave about a 1/2″ around the edges. (i just used the backside of the white paper that came in the frame)
- once your circles are all laid out, start adhering them to the paper.
- if you want to add some color… punch a circle out of the black cardstock, cut out two stars (one larger than the other) and adhere them all together.
this could also make a great gift for grandparents. just add multiple photos of each of the grandkids….
or how about a collection of photos from a recent vacation? the possibilities are endless!

I love this! But for the life of me I can not find a 3 inch circle punch! Where did you get yours?

This would be a good idea for a picture a year to show how they've grown.
