Worth a thousand staples

Here's a little something that I put together for GK's place!

The project started with a huge blank wall, many picture frames in various sizes and colors, and the hope to make as few holes in the wall as possible. Here's how the work in progress turned out...

Materials:

- 2 spools of ribbon

- stapler

- box of staples

- 1 black mat spray paint

- 4 nails and hooks

Helpful hint:

-Don't hold the spray paint can too close to the frame or you will get bubbles of paint that dry in a funky bubble formation.

After choosing the frames that would be used in the collage, it's most helpful to arrange them on the floor first to get the look you desire. Measure out the ribbon to the length you need. I doubled mine over and tied a knot in the top to add a little something extra to the top; which also nicely covered up the hook a nail holding each picture set. Next, flip over the picture frames, and begin stapling the ribbon where it hits the top of each picture frame (this can get a little tricky at times... needless to say, I went through a lot, I mean A LOT, of staples to make sure it was secure and hung evenly when the back of the some frames had a lot of stuff going on that worked against my little stapler). Then start hanging and measuring out your frames (I used GK a lot at this point to help make sure the picture sets were spaced evenly)!
