How to make a wall collage in my room with magazine clippings, photos, and other cool things by ElizabethLexing

"It was a ton of fun, and all the magazine adds and pictures I chose myself."

How I did it: I started in the uppermost corner of one wall and worked across the wall in rows, making sure to overlap. I attached them with tape first, but realizing that it would not hold very long, (I'm so smart ^.^') I just began using tacks. (One tack to the place were four pictures meet.) It took a lot of tacks, but it worked out. Then I came to the edges of the wall, and realized it was almost impossible to divide the walls evenly, so I just took a bunch of the Sunday comics and cut them into strips, covering the exposed wall with it.

Lessons & tips: This is a temporary version. (my parents would have killed me if I had done it the other way) There are ways where you actually use clear wallpaper glue to coat them down, but its permanent and you can't change the images whenever you like. (>.<)
