DIY Garland Display for Lists and Photos

This guide will show you how to make and assemble a list organizer that doubles as a photo display! It's great for organizing your ideas and to-do list, and it looks super cute too!

The supplies that you will need are:
​- 2 pads of sticky notes (3"x3")
- an index card or piece of card stock, trimmed to 3"x3"
- 2 photographs 
- 5 small binder clips or clothespins
- 2 feet of yarn or string
- a Tombow Fude pen or black fine line pen
- 2 Tombow brush pens in colors that match the sticky notes
- a pair of scissors

The first step is creating your to-do lists with the sticky note notepads. 
This is really personalize-able, so you can make whatever lists you want or think you need. I chose to write
​"Reminders" and "Goals" ​with my Tombow Fude and then add three bullet points.

​Next, write or print out a quote for the centerpiece. This can be any inspirational, funny, or cute saying!
​I wrote "dream big, work hard" with my Tombow Fude on the 3"x3" index card.

Cut out two photographs into 3"x3" squares. ​I printed out some of my travel photos, but you can use anything you'd like. 
Tip: Use a sticky note as a template by sticking it onto the photograph and cutting around it.
Then you'll have a perfect square!

The final step is to assemble everything!
Arrange them in the order of - List, Photo, Quote, Photo, List
Clip each of them with a mini binder clip or clothespin, and thread your string through all 5.
