Family Picture

I'm sure a lot of you have seen those huge pictures a lot of people have pinned on Pinterest that you can make for cheap. I wanted to check and see if I could really do it, and yes you can!  I was ordering something on Staples, so I checked it out.  You order an engineering print.  I got the 2 foot x 3 foot size for about $3.50.  I wasn't sure how it was going to turn out, but I figured for less than $4, it was worth trying.  I got free delivery and it came quickly in a sturdy tube.  Of course, it isn't on photo paper and they tell you not to do photos, but it turned out beautifully!  I love it! I had seen on Pinterest that people would put them onto wood.  That was cool, but I thought I would like to be able to switch out the picture now that I know how to get them for so cheap.  So I went to Wal-mart and found a poster frame to fit it for $16.  So for under $20, I have this huge family picture.  I put it over our full-size keyboard upstairs, so you can see how big it really is.

My brother-in-law was thinking of all kinds of ideas you could use these for, like printing out a picture of your child for a birthday party and playing "Pin the hat on _____" (fill in child's name) or some other article of clothing or body part to pin onto the child's picture.  You could decorate your walls with different pictures of your children for parties or anything!
