Most of us have a long list of gifts to purchase for the holidays, but you’re a photographer, right? So why not grab a few of your favorite images and create something personal that your friends and family will enjoy? The quick video below provides 10 great ideas for photography gifts you can make at home.

The simple and fun projects in this festive DIY compilation from the Cooperative of Photography (COOPH), includes ideas for just about everyone on your list. There’s a challenging photo Rubik’s Cube, a candleholder that makes photographs glow in the dark, and a cool photo display made from an old bicycle wheel.

You’ll also pick up an idea for DIY popsicle-stick picture frames, laminated photo bookmarks, a homemade rustic photo display, and fun photo refrigerator magnets to “pimp your kitchen.” So watch the video, have some fun, and cross a few names off your list.

There are more cool projects on the COOPH YouTube channel, and be sure to watch another piece we posted recently with seven DIY light modifiers that you can make for free at home.
