Make A Gallery Style Photo Collage: For Less Than $25

Spring break is in the air, guru girls and guys! And you know what that means. Tequila slammers!

Sorry, 90s flashback. Spring break means pictures. Lots of pictures. Not pitchers.

Many of you are escaping somewhere tropical or snowy or, in my case, scorpion-filled.

And on vacation you’ll take some really great pictures, which will then languish on your phone or Instagram account.

Unless you try this great new display I just saw!

Make yourself a gallery wall of vacation pictures. For less than $25. For realz.

Here’s how:

1.      On vacation, make sure to take pictures of more than just your friends and family. Take random shots of cool scenery. Think street signs, flowers, iron gates, funky looking storefronts. Zoom in as tightly as you can so the object fills the entire frame.

2.    Back at home, print out 25 of the best shots, including lots of your scenic ones. The scenic ones are key to giving your display that modern look. Walmart and Walgreens both print pics on the cheap. (Walgreens’ prints are as low as 20 cents per print.)

  

3.    Get thyself a giant sheet of foam board. You can get medium sized ones from Target and big ones from crafting stores like Michael’s or Hobby Lobby. (The 20 x 30 foam board retails for $6 at Hobby Lobby.)

4.    Glue your 25 chosen pictures in rows onto the board.

5.     Frame it up! In a ginormous frame that you’ve picked up from Ikea.  There are dozens of sizes – the Nyttja style fits the 20 x 30 foam board perfectly and sells for $9.99.

Voila! You have yourself a gallery-worthy art piece that doesn’t make you scratch your head and wonder what in the heck just happened.

Uh oh. There goes that pesky 90s flashback again.

Try this photo display and the only thing you’ll be flashing back to is the great vacation you just took.

Happy spring break, guru girls & guys!
