Here are some more picture projects for my father's upcoming birthday. I found an unpainted wood tray at the craft store and painted it yellow. I cut a piece of glass to protect the pictures underneath but you could just as easily take the glass insert from a cheap photo frame. Voila! Drink tray.
In lieu of a traditional happy birthday banner I an used grey cardstock to frame vellum baby pictures of each of the family members. I used an exacto knife to cut the holes in the center and sandwiched the pictures in between the two pieces of paper. Gluesticks work best.
Close up of the banner and cute baby Katy and baby Ron in lederhosen. I threaded the pictures on rick-rack but you could use a curling or decorated ribbon, string, or wire depending on the look your are going for.
I also made a candle lantern with four different images of my dad; one on each of the sides. I made the frame out of balsawood. I did not intend to put the paper edging on the sides but Tacky Glue makes vellum pucker.
The lantern from a different angle.
