With almost everyone having a camera within arm’s reach it seems like people are taking more photos than looking at them. In between the awkwardly lit entree shots and umpteenth sunset pics on your phone’s camera roll, there are probably many you’d like to print and see on your wall. If you’re looking for distinctive ways to showcase them there are many cost effective and beautiful projects. The following frames, albums and displays remind the view that a snapped moment can mean much more than just a quick tap of one’s finger.
If you don't have time to make your own photo project, 365Canvas has a bunch of different photo-based gifts you can create, including ornaments, photo canvases and wall art.
