You Will Need (4 things)

  • Acrylic Paint
  • Push Pins
  • Ribbon
  • Clothespins

Steps (6 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 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.

  2. 2

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

  3. 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.

  4. 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).

  5. 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".

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