Photo Ideas for your Fireplace Mantel

Decorate your Mantel  by "leaning" instead of "hanging" frames.

Instead of "hanging" picture frames, "lean" pictures frames. (shown below) You can easily move the pictures around and you don't have to worry about putting hardware into the brick. Layer various different frame sizes and be sure to fill the vertical space between the mantel and ceiling with a taller frame.

Photo Gift Tags

Originally posted by Sweet Paul Blog and shared by Jeck Garcia on ehow.com, turn your photos into gift tags using:

• Color copies of pictures
• Tag puncher
• Hole puncher
• String

Use a tag puncher and punch out tags of your pictures.

If you don't have a tag puncher you can just cut the tags out by hand.

Punch out holes using a hole puncher and fasten a string to the photo.
