Photo Board Alternative: Use a dress form to create a photo display

Photo display on a dress form

I borrowed an iron dress form to use as a photo display for a high school graduation party. It turned out so cute!

I chose fabric that was pretty forgiving of the fact that I'm not a seamstress (and the photos on top of the fabric hide any awkward stitching). The fabric also has a texture (little circular shapes) that allowed me to attach the pictures with super glue.

Black & white and sepia pictures were used on the red fabric. If you are pulling pictures from Facebook, the b&w/sepia tones hide some of Facebook's lesser quality (downsized images) when you print them. It's also a nice contrast on the red fabric. I cropped most of the pictures as four-inch squares and used about 50 total.

"Dolly" has a belt made of black ribbon. Her top is simply the remainder of the fabric I didn't use for the skirt pulled into the dress form's arms and draped inside. I needed about a yard and a half for the skirt and the top.

Pretty easy (although you'll need to google how to get super glue off your fingers). Very cute.
