Photo Wall and Personalized Bottles

mld106559_0111_balloon_041var.jpg

Document a life and make a big, bold visual statement at the same time. It's a snap to do -- and inexpensive, too. Print photos in various sizes. Lay them on the floor in the shape of the birthday number to determine your arrangement. Then tape them to a wall. Attach more images to bottles with double-sided tape.
