Picture Wall
A few people have asked about the picture wall I made for Amy’s Christmas present. Here it is:
The most time-consuming part of the project was creating the design for the arrangment of the pictures. The hardest part was actually putting the pictures on the wall. It wouldn’t have been so hard if the hooks on the backs of all the frames had been the same place, but they seemed to be randomly placed on there. My method for getting the frames in the correct place was actually Amy’s idea. I’d fold the hook down and tape a push pin with the point sticking out right where the nail would touch the hook. Then I could just push the frame where I wanted it and the pin stuck in the wall. Simple but very effective.

I absolutely love your collage. I really want something like that at our house! You say it’s not hard, but I can’t stop picturing how persice you had to be to make it look so neat! did you draw the design and then went and bought the frames? what was your method if you don’t mind sharing.

I bought the frames first, then made the layout with photoshop. I think I spent more time actually making the layout than it took to hang them.
Good luck with your collage!

I bought those frames at the local arts and crafts store. They were inexpensive and they had plenty in stock.
