Do you find yourself surrounded by 50 printed photographs but no earthly idea about what to do with them? If you have a wall that needs some attention, create an 8 foot photo wall with this incredibly simple and inexpensive tutorial which uses everyone's favorite this - washi tape!

Instructions

  1. Small 111603 2f2015 10 20 021123 photowall%2b2

    Figure out the space you have to work with and how many photographs you can fit in this space. If you find it helpful, create a diagram so you know your exact layout. For this 8 foot photo wall I could easily fit 50 photographs, 5 across and 10 down.

  2. Small 111603 2f2015 10 20 021224 photowall%2b3

    Choose which pictures make the cut. I chose all vertical images so anything landscape was immediately ditched. It might be hard to choose if you have an adorable little cutie as shown here.

    Start placing your photographs on the wall and measure either with a ruler or eyeball it.

    Place the photos in a row then add the washi tape to the borders (if you want a more unique look as I did here, alternate the patterns).

    When you finally get to the end, celebrate the fact that you just put 50 photographs on the wall (and likely your biceps and shoulders are incredibly sore).
