Friendship Photo Collage

Second only to family, our relationship with friends is a powerful and special connection. Foster these connections by working with your children to creat a Friendship Photo Collage. Buy a piece of textured paper from an craft store, some acid free glue or photo corners, and 1 yard of ribbon that goes well with the color of paper you selected. Ivory paper and ivory ribbon work nicely. Cut the paper into 21" by 9" piece and and fold it into three equal sections 7" wide. Punch a hole 1/2" form the left and right edges (centered in the page 4 1/2" from top and bottom). Use the three sections to collage photos randomly or by themes (sporting events, school activites, dances, birthdy parties, etc.). Slip the ribbon in one hole and around the back and ot the other hole. Now you can set this meaningul keepsake up on a bedroom dresser to enjoy or tie it closed with a ribbon and keep it in a safe spot. You might make one for yourself at the same time. This is a great way to organize photos and pay tribute to our cherished friendships at the same time.
