Wall Art



Today I bring you instructions on how to make one of these... things. I'm not sure what you'd call it, really.
It takes about an hour and a half, some pictures, preferably of A4 size, glue, contact, butchers paper and cardboard.

To start with, you'll need to draw your template onto the butchers paper. To get a perfect circle as big as the one I made, I actually used a hula hoop and traced it's perimeter.

Once you've done that, you can use the paper to start arranging your pictures. Play around with where you want to place them. It'll take a little while to get them how you want.

Then, either glue your paper circle to some cardboard and then cut around the edges to get your circle, or, use it to trace a cardboard circle, and then cut it out.

Next, you'll want to glue all your pictures on. I laid mine out in rows of four, glued them on, then chop off the excess.

After that, if the pictures aren't sticking down properly, like mine were, use some contact to put over it. It also makes it nice and glossy! Yay!

And there you have it; a circular wall... thing.
