  Step 1

  First, start off with some clothespins...you're going to want to paint them. With the clothespins you can get as creative as you want. Do stripes, polka dots! Whatever you want ;) I personally just painted mine black for a more classic look. Let the clothespins dry as you continue onto the next steps.

• Step 2

  You'll need some ribbon. The length should be however long you wish. Mine is about 6.5 feet.

• 

  Step 3

  Every foot or so, you're going to need to put some push pins into the wall. How I did this was by twisting and pushing them in, it'll take some muscle but it pays off. =) You could maybe try pushing on it with a hammer...but I'm not sure.

• 

  Step 4

  Next...hang the ribbon with the push pins. Then, place some photos on the ribbon with the clothespins that you painted (when they're dry).

• 

  Step 5

  Voila! You're done ;) ....Mine turned out a little jagged looking because of the ribbon i was using, but I'm sure if you get a flexible ribbon you'll be able to make it more "swoopy".

  Step 6

  Yes....that is me with Tim Gunn (from Project Runway)....be jealous. Lol <3

this is really cool and the "jaggedness" you speak of actually looks really good! haha i was thinking, since i move in the fall back to college, instead of push pins do you think sticky tack or something of the sort would hold the ribbon onto the wall?

This is really nice! I am getting my room redecorated and this will be perfect for the look I am going for, I have loads of pics from my holidays, and the one I just had in Spain, so this will be great, and way cheaper than photo frames!

Thanks for the great idea! and the 'Jaggy' look is really cool! and the ribbon is really cool!

Totally Jealous ! <3, Project Runway is
