We love featuring unique DIY ideas. This one is called a "Generation Photo." It can easily be done in your home with some photo paper or with some time - the help of a printing place.
We stuck with 8 x10 photos that we created at home! You can certainly do this first Generation Photo larger using an 11 x14 frame for the end result. Either way, it is sensational!
Find a frame the size of your desired end picture. I wanted to give an 8 x 10 so I found a chunky, vibrant blue color at Hobby Lobby. You can do this either way. From oldest to youngest or vice versa. It's all up to you.
1. Take a snapshot of the 1st generation. If this will be the smallest image in your finished picture, make sure it's close up of the face. A far away shot will not work. You won't know who it is by the time you finish this project.
2. Print out that 1st snapshot. Frame it in the frame you bought. Now have the next generation hold that framed picture and take a snapshot.
3. Repeat the process of printing and framing this new picture.
4. The next generation then holds the picture frame and gets their picture taken. Print it and frame it. It's NOW ready for gift giving if you've photographed all the generations in your family.
The finished project!
