" Now that summer is in full swing, it&amp;#039;s the perfect time to find unique items for displaying treasured family photos. Photography is my passion, so pictures of my children are an essential part of my home d\u00E9cor. Family and friends enjoy looking at the photos and the images are a continual reminder to my children of how much we love them. Estate sales, antique shows, and flea markets are full of pieces that you can display in your home. Combining a passion for photos with unique vintage finds can lead to meaningful, one-of-a-kind photo displays that your guests will admire. When searching for your next vintage treasure, think about how it can be repurposed and used to display photos. Don&amp;#039;t forget that antiques can also be used creatively in photo shoots. Eclectic flea markets are the perfect creative fuel for inspiring a photo session or DIY project, because they are filled with vibrant colors, a myriad of shapes and textures and a palpable creative energy. There are unlimited ways to use vintage treasures both in your photographs and your home. Here, three ways that I show off family photos in my home.  Antique Flower Frog Photo Hangers  Old metal flower frogs have always caught my eye and I wanted to do something creative with them. I hang them against a hallway wall to display photos with a vintage vibe at home.   Supplies:  Metal flower frogs Enlarged, mounted photos Nails or screws Jute twine Old clothespins 3M Command Strips (or wall mount adhesive tape for hanging pictures)  Instructions: 1. Print photos mounted on a sturdy back like matboard or styrene at the size you desire. I used 8x12 prints on styrene. 2. Acquire one or more metal flower frogs and hang on wall using a nail or screw. 3. Measure how far you&amp;#039;d like your photo to hang and cut the twine accordingly. 4. Feed twine through bottom of flower frog. Put each end of the twine through the center of a clothespin, tie a knot and trim the extra twine. 5. Hang the mounted prints from the clothespins, then secure the prints to the wall using removable wall adhesive tape (like 3M Command Strips).    Vintage Washboard Frames  Vintage washboards make perfect frames. I saw these at a flea market and knew immediately that I had to have them. I planned a photo shoot at a historic site with a mid-1800s home that was the perfect backdrop for creating my own &amp;quot;old&amp;quot; photo. I used the washboard, an old metal bucket and a vintage dress in a scene I created with my daughter. Then, I used that photo, plus more from that shoot and the washboards to create the perfect wall art for my laundry room.   Supplies:  Washboard(s) Enlarged, mounted photos 3M Command Strips (or wall mount adhesive tape for hanging pictures) Picture hangers or nails  Instructions:  1. Plan your wall display and measure the sizes of prints you need. Print the photos on a sturdy matboard or styrene backing. Square prints worked perfectly for my washboards. 2. Attach the mounted photos to the washboard using a strong adhesive like 3M Command Strips and then hang the washboards on the wall.   Antique Bicycle Wheel Photo Display  I was wandering around an outdoor antique show when I saw an amazing bicycle wheel that I was told was at least 100 years old. The weathered wood frame and aged metal spokes create a beautiful shape that looks striking on my wall. I clip snapshots to the frame for an easy photo display. The project is inexpensive and the photos can be updated easily. During the holidays I showcase photo cards from dear friends.   Supplies:  Wheel Printed 4x6 or square photos Nail or screw Old clothespins  Instructions:  1. Determine where you want your wheel to hang. Drill a long screw into the wall (preferably a stud) and hang the wheel on the screw. 2. Use old clothespins to affix photos to the wheel. Swap the photos as often as desired. Easy!
