If you’re looking for a fresh way to display any image, there’s a simple trick you should know. YouTube user Crystal Hethcote put together a video showing you how to do a photo transfer onto wood. The result is a vintage-looking image “printed” right onto a piece of wood. It looks really professional, but you can easily do it at home. All you need is a regular inkjet printer, a block of smooth sanded wood (ask for scraps at the hardware store), and some inexpensive art supplies.

The cool thing about this project is that it’s not only cheap and easy, it also makes a great gift. Since you’re printing a photo, you can give the same image to multiple people. You can also get really creative with collages! You can even try painting the wood first for a colorful look, or print in color. The possibilities are truly endless!
