Turn a handful of related photographs into a small freestanding display that folds away between visits. Gather six small photo prints, a long strip of card, a ruler, and photo-safe adhesive.

Set it up

Measure the photographs and mark equal panels on the card, leaving a little border around each image. Score each crease with a ruler edge before folding, and leave the outer panels blank if you want protective covers.

Put the idea to work

Fold alternating creases forward and backward, then attach one photograph to each panel without covering the folds.

Finish and keep it useful

Write a short caption beneath each image and stand the strip in a shallow zigzag on a shelf. Do not use ordinary sticky tape directly on irreplaceable original prints.
