While in one of my faves shops recently I saw a photo frame for the wall. It was basically lots of photo frames conected in a haphazzard way. While it looked good, i didn't think it was worth the £65 price tag! So decided to try and do my own. :)
1 - First pick some cardstock you want to use. Use different colours to add variety. Ive used 3 colours as I've picked 12 photos, so 4 photos for each colour. Use good quality cardstock as the thinner type will bend easier so is harder to use.
2- Pick your photos. Can be as many as you like. :)
3 - Work out how much of the photo you want on show and measure it. For example on this photo I wanted 3 inches by 3 1/2 inches shown.
4 - Add on and inch each side for the frame (so I would need 5in by 5 1/2 in) and measure this onto a piece of cardstock.
5 - Cut out.
6 - Measure the frame you will need. One inch from each side.
7 - Cut out.
8 - Mount photo onto the back so the image shows as you want.
9 - Repeat this for all the photos you want to use.
10 - Once all photos are 'framed' position them where you would like them to be. (You could just stick them onto the wall one by one but I found it easier to do this way.) Once you are happy with the positions, stick together.
11 - Once photos are all stuck together, embellish as you wish. :)
12 - Attach to wall using double sided tape. (low tack if you have wallpaper)
Well done Gemma! That's very clever and it looks great too!

I love it when I see something with a horrendous price tag and know I can do something similar for a couple of pounds!!
