2. Acrylic Blocks

This product is one of my favorites! The photo inside each smooth, glassy acrylic block displays your precious memories with vivid color and crisp details, drawing the viewer into the moment. (Also, they are UV-resistant, waterproof, and scratch-resistant.)

3. DIY Wooden Photo Boards

You can order high-quality prints through your online gallery or print your downloaded images elsewhere with your print release. If you and your family like DIYs, you can use your printed family pictures to create wooden photo boards, making them a fun family activity!

Step 1: Gather Your Materials for the Family Photo Gift Idea

For this craft, you will need:

  • Electronic sander with 180 grit sandpaper
  • Wooden board
  • Photos
  • Pencil
  • Measuring Tape
  • Mod Podge
  • Foam Brush
Materials needed to make a wooden photo board for to give as a Christmas gift.

Step 2: Measure and Mark Where Your Photos Will Go

To ensure your photos are centered and have equal spacing between them, measure and mark where you would like your pictures placed on the board using a measuring tape and a pencil.

Step 3: Paint Mod Podge inside Your Markings

Use the foam brush to paint some Mod Podge inside your markings. The Mod Podge will serve as “glue” to attach your photos to the board.

Step 4: Smooth out the Photos and Sand Their Edges

Keeping your photos straight, lay them flat on the areas where you applied the Mod Podge. Wrap an old gift card/credit card in a small rag. Then, tip the card at a 45-degree angle and lightly move it from one end of the picture to the other end until you’ve squeezed all the bubbles out between the photos and the board. Once the Mod Podge is dry, lightly sand the pictures’ edges using the sander.

Step 5: Coat the Entire Board with Mod Podge

Clean the surface area and coat the entire board in Mod Podge to seal the images and give the project a shine.

Step 6: Give the Board as a Family Photo Gift Idea for Christmas

Once the Mod Podge is dry, feel free to tie or glue a bow onto the board for added flair! You can wrap it up and give it to a loved one for Christmas, filling them with joy and cheer!
