Glitzy Photo Board DIY Inspiration

If you can remember (and long for) a time when photos used to be showcased around your house, and not your Instagram page, this DIY is for you. Here’s the situation: The walls of your bedroom are bare. The photos in your frames are over 10 years old. You and your significant other have no photographs together, but you’re tagged in about 50 of them on Facebook.

This is what happened to Samantha when she moved into a new place, so she decided to get creative! She ordered a set of 24 instagram photos to be printed by printstagr.am. She went to Michaels and picked up a corkboard, heavy duty double sided tape, glitter tape, sequin and pom pom string. It’s so easy to create your own photo board with the right materials!






 Here are some tips if you want to get the look:

1. Create a board around the board using glitter tape
2. Using double sided tape, line the back of each photo and arrange in an order that you like. It doesn't have to be lined up in an organized fashion. If you don't have a lot of photos to start with, put them haphazardly and fill it from there. You can even use push pins to pin up more photos, scraps of paper or even jewelry!
3. Find fun ribbons or strings that match your current decor. Run them over the photos and secure them to the back with table. 

She used tape so she can easily swap out photos and didn't want to ruin the photos with push pin holes. But experiment with a bunch of things and go with what looks good!
