Weaving Photographs

For more dramatic results from your photographs, trying weaving two copies of the same photograph together. This technique creates a three-dimensional artist look. This technique would look great on a scrapbook for a graduating art student or a scrapbook for a friend who is quite artistic and creative. This technique might also look good on a child's scrapbook with a child's art background giving the whole page an abstract look.

To achieve this technique, first you need two copies of the same photo. On one photograph, draw evenly spaced vertical lines on the back of the picture. Cut along these lines with scissors or an exacto knife. On the other photograph draw and cut along evenly spaced horizontal lines.
 
Next, using alternate strips, from photograph one and then photograph two, weave the pieces together.  To preserve the rectangular shape of the photographs, start your weaving in the center of the piece and work outwards. You might need to practice a little to get the finished effect perfect! You can see some examples of woven photographs here..
