I Want to Prepare a Photo Garland ♡
The photo garland is popular as a decoration for welcome spaces.
It's common to connect printed photos and hang them on walls or in large frames.
This time, we will introduce a unique way to display this photo garland ♩
Awesome ♡ DIY Stand Using Wooden Sticks
Here it is! A method to hang a photo garland on a stand made by assembling wooden sticks!
Five birch sticks are tied together with cloth, and clips are used to suspend the photo garland.
The photo garland, which was hard to become the main decoration, suddenly becomes a prominent item…!
This DIY idea was conceived by @nat_wedding_nest and is called “Welcome Swing”!
How to Make a Photo Swing?
The way to make a photo swing is surprisingly simple.
① Cut the wooden sticks to your desired length.
② Wrap and fix them with jute twine to create the shape of a stand.
③ Tie strips of fabric from above.
④ Hang the photo garland.
It seems best to do the work of fixing the wooden sticks with jute twine together with your partner ♩
Using longer wooden sticks allows for displaying more photos.
Using brown wooden sticks gives a natural feel, while using white driftwood or birch creates a shabby chic or rustic atmosphere.
Choose fabric for fixing the sticks that has your preferred texture ♡
Where Can You Get Wooden Sticks?
One issue when DIY-ing a welcome swing is where to get the wooden sticks to use as materials.
The recommended place is a home improvement store!
You can find wooden sticks and driftwood for sale, allowing you to choose them in person.
If you don’t have time to visit a home improvement store, you can also purchase them online.
Please pay attention to the length and thickness when choosing.
On Amazon, a set of five driftwood pieces measuring 40-50 cm was available for 3,510 yen.

I also found a nice wooden stick on Rakuten. This one is 70 cm, so you can make a large welcome swing.
If you want to shorten it, you will need to either use the cutting service at the home improvement store or cut it yourself with a saw.
The price is 3,850 yen.
