Transcript
Let me show you guys how I did these custom added frames that sit in my living room. The first thing you'll need is frames. I find the bigger the better. These are the dimensions that I yes. And then for the better, I actually just yes fabric for this. You can buy matte paper at Blick or other art stores. I feel like you just have so many more options with color and pattern if you're using fabric. I then just cut it to size and give it a good press with the iron and then taped it onto the back. Really, it wasn't very pretty, but it gets the job done. I then just cut out some photos that I loved in black and white no that the color of the better really popped and then arranged them in a fun asymmetrical way. Then to hang it, I just good this gallery rail system off of Amazon. Really easy. You just drill a couple screws into the wall, hang up the rail, and then you get these gallery wires that attach directly to the rail. I would recommend getting these stainless steel ones with these zipper clips. Hanging the frames onto these is super easy. My favorite part about this is you can adjust the height, you can swap out the frames as many times as you like without having to worry about drilling more holes into a wall. I hope you guys found this helpful. If you did, smash that follow button for more.
