Trick or treating can't start without first taking the mandatory photo of your kids in their Halloween costumes! I love looking back at all the different costumes my daughters have chosen as they have grown and their interests have changed. Rather than have the photos buried on my computer, I thought it would be fun to create a Halloween photo display to show off all of my kids' Halloween costumes over the years. This cute piece of Halloween decor is easy to add more photos to over time!
Paint the wood pumpkin photo frames with orange acrylic paint and a foam brush. The frames come in a pack of 12, so you can use as many as you need for your wall hanging, and save some to add in the coming years!
Print photos of your children's Halloween costumes from past years. I printed mine as 4"x4" photos at a local photo printing shop and then trimmed them to fit the 3"x3" opening in the frames.
Add the years below each photo with number stickers.
Paint a 36" wood dowel with orange paint to match the pumpkins. Cut 30" lengths of black and white striped ribbon to hang from the dowel. Fold one end over the top of the dowel to create a loop and adhere together with a dab of hot glue. I used three ribbons to hold a total of six frames. If you plan to use more frames on your wall hanging, just make the ribbons longer, or add a fourth ribbon.
Leave the backing off of the pumpkin frame and adhere it to the ribbon with a dab of hot glue on the wood above and below the photo. Repeat with the other pumpkins, spacing them out evenly.
Hang your new Halloween photo display for all to see! This is a fun piece of decor for your entryway along with some other Halloween decor like this sitting witch.
