It's been a year since I went travelling (in fact this time last year I was in Cambodia right now). So feeling nostalgic I felt it was about time I displayed some of my favourite travel photos in all their glory.
I had already printed some Instagram versions of my favourite pics in a Polaroid style so now it was just a question if how to display them.
I wanted it to be simple, but effective and cost efficient. I believe I have that with my photo 'washing line'.

| Pegs & String are main components |
What you need to do it yourself:
- String
- Scissors
- Small nails and hammer
- Blank wall (or space where you want the line to hang)
- Wooden pegs
- Printed photos (any style you like, polaroid, standard etc..)

| My blank wall |
Firstly I measured how long I wanted the washing line to be against the wall, then marked the ends on the wall with a pencil, and cut the string to the right length. On each end of the string I tied a small loop (can be a bit tricky so allow extra string to make a large loop then pull it tight to make it small enough to fit the nail head). I then put down my strings and placed the nails against my pencil mark - one each end, and hammered them into the wall.
Now you can hang the stings on the nails so they lie against the wall, just like a washing line.
Now all you need to do is using the pegs, peg them along the line however you want. I did seven on each line and had them equally spaced and matching to each line. Then add your photos to the pegs. Done!
So easy and really effective.
