I actually completed a DIY / home decor project I saw on Pinterest! I have a giant blank wall off the side of my living room and it needed some spicing up. I saw a pin on Pinterest and thought I could totally do that. In fact, I could totally rip that off. I want a Pinterest Gallery Wall! I wanna be cool!
DIY Gallery Wall How To
First, I marked a line down the center of the wall with 2 inch blue painter’s tape.
I bought frames ranging from 3×5 to 11×14 all at the dollar store or Walmart. The most I spent on a frame was $5, which was the 11×14 size. The majority of the frames were 95 cents to 1 dollar. I decided it would be easiest just to take the inserts of the frames and arrange them around the line. I knew it wouldn’t account for the frame itself, but I was willing to be a little off around the edges. I spaced them to where I thought the edge of the frame would be. This way I could see if I had enough of each size. My husband said he liked the way it looked like this and I should keep it this way. Ha.
Next, I hung the frames with this special picture hanging tape stuff. Let me tell you – SO much easier than putting a million holes in this wall! And I tested these things – they really do come off the wall without taking the paint or drywall.
Finally, I took the blue tape off and it looked perfect!
