DIY Photo Collage on Wood Using Photo Transfer Medium
Today’s DIY photo collage on wood using photo transfer is brought to you by RYOBI Power Tools. All opinions, project ideas, and thoughts belong to Thrift Diving.
I love this DIY photo collage on wood that I created on my wall recently!
But let me explain to you how ironic this is: I’ve got at least 100,000 pictures and videos of pictures stored digitally, and only a handful of the pictures are printed. My walls are generally pretty bare, actually.
Isn’t that insane??
I’m the woman who snapped so many pictures at a family gathering once that distant relatives at the event had thought I was from the local newspaper (not kidding; this actually happened).
But getting them off of the camera and out of the external hard drives is something at which I have sucked.
This month, though, I’m beaming over my latest RYOBI Nation project: a DIY photo collage on wood using photo transfer medium!
(Click here to get the full-tutorial for this project).
I am a RYOBI Nation Partner and at various times throughout the year, I get to collaborate with them on projects that force me to think outside of the box while using power tools.
So this month, the challenge was to think of creative ways to display my pictures.
As much as I love thrift stores, thrift store picture frames weren’t creative enough.
I’ve got a lot of scrap wood lying around, so I decided to try my hand at photo transfer onto pieces of that scrap wood.
The result is a fun little photo collage on wood!

Since I have never done a photo collage on wood before, especially using photo transfer medium, I struggled a little bit. LOL
But overall, I’m pleased that I was able to create a wall that included all the people I loved: my husband, kids, mom, sister, niece, nephew, grandfather, brother-in-law, mother-in-law, and even my best friend, Hakimah. 🙂
I am sure I left a few people out, but that’s what great about having a big wall and using scrap wood–I can expand it very easily!

I have a wide format printer, but I’m looking for more creative ways to print my pictures. I do have a few on canvas, and I really like metallic paper.
I am a big fan of printing out pictures in large collages and then framing them. I recently moved my dad into a long term care facility and just made him one. I love this even more though!
We have made collages and had them printed on glass – sooo pretty. I also like to swap out inserts into frames that say things like, joy or boo, etc, depending on the holiday
I’m not creative, but my husband is. He made some beautiful wood frames with etchings to display our wedding photos way back in 1982. I’m lucky he’s crafty, since I am decidedly not.
i made a seashell from the shells i got from the beach on wood frame
i change mine out each seasons with pictures frames i pick up and some the kids creates
How clever this is! You can imagine all the surfaces that might be cool treated similarly! Glass? Plastic? Leather?! I have plenty of wood, though, and lots of pictures, etc.!
I have been using Chatbooks, I love this idea for some of my favorite photos.
I put my family photos in beautiful photo frames for an elegant family gallery wall.
Like most, pics are on pc and phone. This looks like it’d be a great project on a rainy day
