A DIY Photo Display for Father’s Day
Looking for a thoughtful gift idea for Father’s Day? This creative wall photo display, made with upcycled BBQ grills is perfect for his vintage photos!
Father’s Day is next month! To help you get ready, I’ve come up with a fun DIY suggestions for dad’s day! As fathers get older they acquire a lot of “stuff”. I don’t think they need more ties or beer mugs. My suggestion is for a more personalized gift and it involves wrapping it up (my favorite craft). A thoughtful DIY photo display for Father’s Day!
You may remember that I had found an old barbecue grill in my basement a while back. I used parts of it to make a planter.
Well I had plenty more parts left over. This time around I used the round metal rack parts. There were two of them which I spray painted black.
Then my alter ego, “The Twine Lady” took over and wrapped each grill.
And then joined them together.
A little chalk board sign adds the finishing touch!
Here is the result. Of course it doesn’t look like much till I add…
…photographs. A photo display. This makes it personalized and has special meaning for dad!
“The Twine Lady” at age four.
The mini clothespins give it a rustic touch that compliments the twine while making it super easy to change out the photographs.
Dad can hang this beauty of a photo display on his wall and just stare at our lovely mugs all day long! Or if he’s mad at one of us, he can take the photo down. So much easier than frames!
Well, that is how I am wrapping it up for Father’s Day! As you can see it is an easy DIY with loads of charm and character because the Twine Lady made it. And it has your mugs to boot! What else could dad possibly ask for?

Πολύ όμορφο και η λεπτομέρειες με το σπάγκο,κάνουν τη διαφορά!!!
Μου αρεσει παρα πολυ ο σπαγγος, τον χρησιμοποιω οταν μπορω.
Very clever Mary! Creative way to make a photo display.. Love the added touch with the twine. Twine lady 😉
This is something your day can cherish for years to come.
Yes this is hanging up in our new space right now and I will encourage my husband to change out the photos to his liking.
What a great idea. I have some extra pictures that I was going to take to a family reunion in about a month and share with anyone that wants them. I think that this is a great way to display them and let relatives take the ones that they want. What a timely post for me. Thank you for sharing at Talk of the Town link party.
Amy I am so happy to hear that you found my idea useful. It really is a great way to display photos and so easy to change them out too. I’m sure you can use any time of racks as long as they have openings on them.
What a cute idea! I love it! Pinning!

Oh this is so cool! I wonder if I could just find these grill parts at a Goodwill or something! I like the circle a lot for this!
Hopefully you will be able to find old grills at a Goodwill or a yard sale. Good luck!
