![]() ![]() This is just a matter of personal preference, but I feel that having all of one thing (with the exception of a photo-only wall collage) doesn't feel balanced and is too overwhelming. ^"The Plan" on the left, and the final result on the right, see how they differ slightly?ĭON'T: Have all sayings or all objects. I then purchased it as a stocking stuffer for my husband last year- but in actuality it was really for me : P (Needless to say he realized this very quickly.) All the time I"ll say to my husband "it's two lines after the 1/2" and he'll respond "You mean 5/8ths?" I came upon this DeWalt tape measure below while I was browsing through Home Depot (yes, I browse around Home Depot). This is so embarrassing to mention- however, if you're anything like me with a tape measure- I know 1/4, 1/2, 3/4ths and that's about it. Tip 5: Think about investing in a tape measure that tells you what every little line on the tape measure equals (LOL). ![]() (If you are doing a photo-only collage, try Michaels frames- at least once a month they are 50% off, and if you're a teacher you get an extra 15% if you show your work badge.) The "kitchen collage" which is on the wall behind a kitchen-table, also from Hobby Lobby- total $60. For example- the little girl's room above- her wall collage was only $107 total and everything was from Hobby Lobby. So sometimes it's worth it to wait for the sale. Every other week certain parts of the store are 50% off. They have everything you could possibly need for a wall collage. Tip 4: The best spot to find things for your wall collage is Hobby Lobby. This is so when you come upon frames, objects, or sayings, you can see whether it's going to fit in the space provided. It could be a small tape measure that you keep in your purse (or your pocket if you're a guy.or your man-purse). Tip 3: Have a tape measure with you at all times. Drawing it out gives you a basis for when you go shopping for your random things. Tip 2: Draw out an idea of what you would want to put on the wall: whether it be a clock, sayings, photos, animal antlers, etc. However, they obviously made it home with me.) Since I only had a carry-on, I was stopped at airport security because these antlers were considered "blunt objects". I write down all measurements: Sides of each bed, bedside table up to ceiling, across the bed, etc. I keep these measurements/drawing in a book and in my car for when I happen to be at a store and see some "random stuff" that I think will look good on my wall (because you never know when you are going to find the perfect "random stuff"- I found the collection of metal antlers above at a store called Z Lion in Charlotte while visiting my friends Eric & Amber. I draw out all my ideas in an art drawing book (also called my "One-Day" book). This especially helps if you don't have a big wall canvas- like if you are doing a collage around a bed-frame for example. ![]() Tip 1: Your first step should be to measure out the space you have and draw a model of it on a piece of paper.
