Step 1
Sort through your digital photos and select your favorite images of family members, friends and pets. The size of the wall you want to decorate will dictate how many photos you will be able to use—a large wall can accommodate many photos while a small wall will only be able to hold a few.
-
Step 2
Print the photos on your home printer, order them through an online photo service or burn them to a CD and take them to a local photo processing facility. Be sure to have the photos printed in various sizes, from 4x6 inches to 8x10 inches.
-
Step 3
Buy frames of the same finish—all black, for example—in the sizes you need. Make sure any mattes included with the frames are the same color.
-
Step 4
Place your photos in the frames and lay them out on the floor in front of the wall you will be hanging them on.
-
Step 5
Experiment with different arrangements on the floor until you find one that appeals to you.
-
Step 6
Use the measuring tape, step stool and pencil to mark where you will hang each frame then hammer the nails into the areas you’ve marked.
-
Step 7
Hang the framed pictures then stand back and admire your handiwork and fantastic sense of style!
