<p>It's the start of the New Year and now more than ever would be a good time to redecorate your home.

They can select pictures of family and friends they want to feature, or any paintings and drawings which they have created at home or whilst at school.</p><p>To help you get started, we&rsquo;ve put together five creative photo walls which you and your little ones will love constructing.</p><h2>Large photo frame</h2><p>This large coloured frame is an easy way to instantly update a blank wall.

But despite its strength, it won't leave any visible marks which makes it ideal for using around the home!</p><p>Grab some different coloured <a href="https://groceries.asda.com/product/sticky-tapes-glues-tacks/asda-washi-tape-3-pack/910002290536" target="_blank">washi tapes</a> and you and the kids can hang up your pictures in no time.</p><p><a data-pin-do="embedPin" data-pin-width="large" data-pin-terse="true" href="https://uk.pinterest.com/pin/285063851390500513/"></a></p><p><em>Feeling inspired to get creative this half term?
