Put your iPad in Picture Frame mode, find an attractive iPad Stand, and you've got yourself a useful digital photo frame, and you can save more than $100. A digital photo frame often costs between US$60 to $155 aprox. (or more) to purchase if it has a motion detector and a large storage capacity. Save yourself some money and repurpose your old iPad. This would be perfect for a special occasion such as an anniversary party, baby shower or wedding. Can you Imagine your iPad digital photo frame displaying the pictures from significant events at a reception?

To turn an old laptop into a digital photo frame, you'll have to disassemble the laptop almost entirely. Remove any extra parts and plastic casing to fit the laptop circuitry and the LCD display into a shadow box. This is another advanced project; it might take some time and you might need help, but it will be worth it!

Once you've built the digital photo frame, you can use several programs to display a slideshow of your favorite photos. You can use software such as Windows DVD/Movie Maker, Slidely, Photo Story, Wondershare Filmora, DVD Slideshow Builder, Freemake Video Converter, Photosnack, Kizoa or PhotoStory. These programs are easy to install and use, and they have a help section, should you find it a challenge to use them. Some of them are free!

Set the number of minutes or seconds you want each photo to display, then start the application to display your digital photo slideshow. That's all folks!
