Trick-or-Treat! Happy Halloween!

If you’re too old to go trick or treating but want to have some Halloween fun, try creating some of these DIY Halloween photo projects. With some creepy creativity and minimal supplies, you can make these spook-tacular photo displays!

Over the next few months, children everywhere will be especially busy during arts and crafts hour, cutting out “paper ghosts,” building clothespin reindeer, and folding construction paper into turkeys. Instead of the usual holiday crafts this year, try something different and personal that’s also fun – possibly for someone of any age!

There’s a reason so many people enjoy summer - kids are at home and it’s finally time for some much needed rest and relaxation. Perhaps you spent time during the spring converting photos to digital for different holidays and events. Your mother can’t stop raving over her new collection of digital photographs she received for Mother's Day but what are you supposed to do with all the originals? Many times, photo collections will be ripe with double images. After protecting one set of originals, get crafty with the duplicate pictures! We’ve searched through Pinterest to find some DIY projects to keep you busy this summer.

One of our favorite quotes we found on Pinterest is “sometimes you will never know the true value of a moment until it becomes a memory.” And we think one of the best ways to protect these memories is by scanning them - whether it be photo scanning, slide scanning, film scanning, etc. But what happens after? Sure, there are tons of ways to share digital photos between online options and personalized gifts but there are just as many fun things to do with your old analog formats! Negatives are a very popular reused format in do-it-yourself projects. We understand that you don’t want to use your only original copy of a negative but chances are you have duplicates laying around - why not let everyone enjoy your most prized memories?
