Why relegate those old family photos to a shoebox in the back of the closet? Put them on display with this creative idea from Jenn at Rook No. 17. She made a set of free printables that you can use to recreate this wonderful family tree wreath! Rather than using the original photos, she made copies of them instead, keeping the heirloom prints safe and intact for the enjoyment of future generations. This would make an excellent gift for parents, grandparents, or family historians. Or make one featuring both sides of a newly-joined family as a wedding gift! [how to make a family tree wreath]

Project estimate:

Canvas drop cloth, about $5 and up
Wreath form, $1 and up
Freezer paper, on hand or $1 and up
Leaf template, free
Wire, on hand or $1 and up
Sewing notions, on hand
Printable photo frames, free
Cardboard, on hand
Scanned or photocopied family photos, on hand
Distressing ink, on hand or about $2 ad up
Glue, on hand

Total: about $6 and up
