Photo Collage
Declan's parents recapped his first year by covering a patch of wall with photos. His dad is a photographer, so his first 12 months were all well documented.

These striped flags were the perfect backdrop in the photo booth. Just punch holes in the corners of paper triangles and string them on yarn.
