Create A Picture Collage!!!

     Let's Create A Picture Collage!!!

It's Fun & Very Creative

I wanted to have a picture collage in my daughter's room

so she could build her memories as she grows.
And of course her room has a theme
"Sofia The First" and the stores didn't really have
a lot of decorative things of that certain character.

But every time I went to Walmart, Target and Other places

the one's they had were of poor quality and very expensive 

for a little 8 by 10 inch frame. ( & I wanted something big for her room),
So I started brainstorming.

Then after a while of getting ideas, I decided to create my own collage!!!

Let's have fun and enjoy

First here are the things you need to create this amazing project

which are as follows:

• A Cork Board (I got this one in Target. Any size would do, I got mine big because it gives me more space to play with)
• Fabric ( any texture, except sheer. just make sure you get the right amount/length)
• Scissors
• Buttons ( can be assorted, any size & is optional)
• Thread & Needle (only needed if you get buttons)
• Ribbon (any size and texture except sheer)
• Thumb Tacks (any style, or colors)
• Staple Gun & Staples (you'll find these beauties in Home Depot & even Walmart)
• A Table to work comfortably ( I prefer the floor, endless space lol)

So Let's Begin With The Fun Part!!!

Okay!!!

For Step 1, 2 & 3- Make sure that the fabric is enough to cover the whole frame

& that it is even. Now when you get that done you grab your staple gun and 

start at the top on the very edge. Make sure that you have a good grip 

and as you go around the frame that it is nice and tight, because you do not

want it to be loose and flimsy!!! :)

Step 4-  I wanted to show you how nice and tight it looks. (Picture Above)

For Step 5 to 7- You're going to start on the ribbon, you could 

set it up however you wish. I like the "X" best, because I could put the 

pictures in between and not need a lot of thumb tacks.

Make sure you pull tight before stapling it!!!

(Step 7 is on the picture below)

Step 8- Is the ribbon completed.

Step 9- is the buttons part but is optional. But if you decided to put

some nice buttons then Great!!! You could use any color of thread, I used pink!!

because I didn't have any purple or blue...Lol!!

Step 10- is the buttons sewed to the ribbon. I scattered them around,

they don't have to be in a straight line... decorate how you like!!

Step 11- Is picture time!!!! pick pictures for your collage or

you could put movie tickets, anything you want!!! 

And you're Finished!!! Now put it on your wall & admire your Hard Work!!! 

Enjoy.
