Driftwood or a manzanita branch offers a beautifully organic way to showcase your family photos. Scout beaches or lakes for pieces with sturdy branches, or source them from floral and craft stores. Choose a size that fits your family's photo collection perfectly.
Gather favorite family photos and print copies to avoid damaging originals. Trim each print to fit its frame, selecting varied shapes that complement the driftwood's natural twists.
Insert photos into the medallions. Cut leather cord to 8 inches, thread through the loops, and tie securely onto the branches.
For added color, wrap leather around the trunk's thickest section—it ties in seamlessly with the cords and frames. Display on a table or shelf, or hang using clear wire and small hooks from a wall or ceiling.
A driftwood family tree is a standout DIY art piece that blends crafting passion, coastal charm, and heartfelt family memories.
