Photo Brigade

3-D PHOTO BRIGADE PROJECT

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/photo-brigade • Posted by Mark Montano

My friend Steve had the nervous habit of cutting out photos of people and standing them up on his desk. It was the strangest thing I’d ever seen but I loved it so much I asked to borrow the idea. I think it’s a great way to show off your photos in a very different way. I like being surrounded by a crowd when I’m at my desk. I also like to think about my family and friends and see their smiling faces. It just makes me feel great. SUGGESTION: Do the photos on your computer!

My friend Steve had the nervous habit of cutting out photos of people and standing them up on his desk. It was the strangest thing I’d ever seen but I loved it so much I asked to borrow the idea.

Instructions

  1. Small picture 2 1239712353

    HERE’S HOW: Cut out your photos in any way that you like depending on the photo. I like to take out the background and just leaf the face and upper body.

  2. Cut out a rectangle that is about 3” by 1 1/2 inches

  3. Small picture 3 1239712415

    Score a line lengthwise down the cardboard about 1/2 inch from the edge and bend it

  4. Small picture 4 1239712398

    Glue the 1/2 inch part to the back of the photo with the glue stick

  5. Leave about 1/8” between the bottom of the photo and the bottom of the rectangle so that it leans back at a very slight angle

    Make a bundle of these and see how your day improves
