Often crafts do not recommend using original photographs, especially if they have any family significance, or sentimental value, as they will fade and disintegrate once exposed to open air, sunlight, and temperature changes.
Here are some different ways to display them, most crafts involve gluing them, or changing them somehow, which doesn't sound like something you would want to do with originals:

Look up decoupage.
Just be aware that your result will be a mirror image then!

I agree with Flipturn7. Most crafts and crafters don't want to use original photos because the don't want to destroy the memory. Your original photo would be lost forever.
Well, yes, lots, but the originals might be damaged. The advantage of the copies is you can preserve the originals. Any you can make with a photocopy, you can likely make with the original. (Unless the original is a Polaroid instant shot, which has a different finish and backing, and may well be destroyed with many crafts.)
I made a collage of pictures in a large frame. I cut out the areas of photographs that I did not want (such as backgrounds). I then bought a picture frame and used the back side of the "fake photo" that came in the frame to simply use double sided tape to tape them to the "fake photo". Then simple placed it back in the frame. .... This picture is very important to me now that I have lost some of the people and pets in the photos. .... Plus it takes up a whole lot less space than framing them in their original sizes.
