How I did it: The idea happened randomly. I really have no idea what started it off. It was going to be a collage of moustache pictures, then it turned into a moustache collage in the shape of a moustache made out of cardboard. Then I realized I had enough cardboard to make another moustache, which I decided to paint black. Then I realized I still had left over cardboard and ended up with almost a dozen moustaches of various sizes. I painted all of them black, it took a few days to paint either side and then around the edges so there was no visible cardboard underneath. Then I glued various printed pictures of moustaches onto two of them. They went onto the wall the next day with sticky tacks and now I have a flock (or whatever the collective term is) of moustachios in my room :D  

Lessons & tips:

• Have a genuine love and appreciation of the moustache.
• Take your time, be patient. 
• Do not tell people about your moustache feature-wall prior to making it, or they will ask if they can have one of your moustaches. This will mean less moustaches for your wall. 

Resources:

• Willum (who somehow inspired my moustache fetish and made me feel like it wasn't silly)

• Acrylic paint, cardboard, photo paper, scissors, crafting knives, glue and sticky tacks. 
• Google.
