Table plan - opinions and suggestions needed pls!

Could you mount them all in a big frame to give it more 'finish'? Or maybe use individual frames? Great idea by the way.

How about something like this? Bit of twine and mini pegs?

Anyway you could pin some string on to the sides and have little mini pegs with the polaroids on?

Like this :




Or have it in a big frame?




I really like your 2nd pic as well but I do feel there's something missing from it, such a lovely idea as well!

I agree with the above post...pegging the pics to some twine/string etc

Thanks all - the pegs/string was another idea I had before the noticeboard (I even have the pegs and string!) but the problem then is what to back it with? Brown paper looked a bit plain and patterned paper was looking too 'much' with the photos (like in the pic I posted above)

Rather than patterned paper have you tried just coloured paper, maybe a blue to contrast with the sandy colour?

You've hit the nail on the head here - I like it but there's definitely something missing! Just unsure of what to put in the background otherwise?

Could you maybe scatter some little love hearts or something in between all the pics and glue them wherever you want so it's not too plain but gives a little detail?

Or have some mini bunting like in one of the pics above?

Did you try the pegs string & pics with the patterned paper? ?

Seen a couple of pics on pinterest that looked quite cute, seen the little dropping beads (proper technical term ? ) and flowers n thought might give you some ideas, theres some nice ones on pinterest if you want a gander

No only patterned paper with them laying directly on it cos in my head I thought it would look the same on string but maybe if it's further away it might work better. The bunting/love hearts/generally more decoration is a good idea too, maybe I'll play around with it a bit once I have the proper photos/a bigger board. Maybe I'll try a big frame too and see how it works. Gah! I wish I was more crafty!

Ooh striped paper might work! Excellent thanks MM3 - because I was struggling to find backing paper I kind of stopped looking, but I'll go back to pinterest and have a look and a few more goes. Thanks for the advice all

I wish I was more crafty too haha I don't know how you have the patience, i'd be hopeless trying anything like that

Hopefully you'll find something perfect, keep us updated with how you get on and of course flash ?

I think my lack of patience is my problem sometimes! and I've got to a bit of a 'fvck it' stage with a lot of things! Will try some more stuff out this weekend and see how it goes!

I would go stringy hangy with contrasting paper- the stripes MM3 posted look good!

Cheers lovely, yep I agree those pics look fab - I'll be on the hunt for striped/bold patterned paper/wall paper tomorrow!

Try clintons / paperchase I used wrapping paper for mine

Oooh I didn't think of wrapping paper - thanks!

No problem! The single sheets you can get are good quality / thickness- I wouldn't pay a couple of quid for one to wrap a present in but didn't mind so much for the table plan! (-the fact I ended up with about half a dozen is irrelevant )

Ha! I need very little excuse to buy pretty paper from paperchase ;-)

Hey DCM, not sure if you have come up with the answer this weekend?

A couple of ideas i've seen (and considered) were

glue sand onto backing (plenty of tutorials online)

or use burlap to cover the backing with

Cheers goldpants - nope not sorted yet - I've worked out who's sitting where and what polaroids we''re using but not how to display them! Burlap would look fab but is quite expensive. I live the idea of sand - can only imagine the mess I'd make though!
